COLLEGE GOWNS SYMBOLISM.
Few, Even Among University Men,
Know Their Meaning.

Know Their Meaning.
It has been said that few people, in
cluding many university men themselves
have any definite ideas Of the meaning Of
the gowns worn by collegiate students
says Harpers Weekly.
In America university gowns exhibit
much variety, there being a great differ
ence in the various institIttons; but all
over The country-;n fact all over the
English-speakng world-certain distinc-
tons hold
The ordinary bachelors gown, the first
the student owns. is of unadorned black
with pointed sleeves. and is ordinarily
made Of serge or other simple black
fabric. The masters gown is Ike the
students inasmuch as it Is plain black,
but the sleeves arc cut differently, being
long pendants shaped not unlike fish tails,
and hanging from the elbows nearly to
the bottom of the gown The masters
gown may be made of silk. as may also
the bachelor s gown If il is worn by
man OF long academic standing who has
happened TO receive no higher degree;
but the ordinary university man has no
desire 70 clad himself in silk
Most doctors gowns, especially in Eng
land and Scotland. have hoods that give
them certain distinctions, and dneren-
tiate, by differences IN color the doctor
ates.
Fifteen years ago "a commission Of col
lege faculties was formed. looking to the
recommendation Of a uniform system of
American gowns. The labors Of the com
mission We're not rewarded with entire
success, but they did succeed IN a partial
codihCation Of the different hoods.
The department. or faculty, Of learning
is shown by a trimming Of color around
the hood. Arts and letters are represent
ed by white, theology by scarlet. law by
purple. philosophy by blue, science by
gold yellow, fine arts by brown. music
by pink, and medicine by green In some
these CulOrs are displayed in !
bars across the sleeve. This is true at
where few Of the gowns have !

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

Have you ever met the woman who has
achieved reputation for being generous
and self-sacrincing by selecting her bene-
| ficiaries with such care that she gets her
rewards in substantial favors. paying a
! fancy dividend on her investment OF
/ time and strength? If not, just look hard
/ for her among your acquaintances. and
see how closely she is living up to her
/ lavish promises Of aid, in any and all
| directions. made for pure effect. Also
note her surprise at the goodness of
| everybody toward her.
A far-seeing matTon told me. one day.
that she was years learning a single les
son. When her feminine friends offered
to help her through trying occasions, like
moving and sickness, she was deeply
touched By their generosity, and when the
day OF need arrived and was met by one
excuse after another and she faced the
situation alone and uHaided. she had no
suspicion Of double dealing. so carried no
resentment in her heart. Each year she
had the same experiences with the same
friends, tiIl common sense told her To do

had merely done the things she expected

below par. Now size hires whatever she
wants. services for which she pays stipu-
lated wages, and when her friends offer

It is difficult fer a layman TO under

ment except to know that it enables a
chemist to analyze sugars. and to tell
what kind Of sugar and how much II

through 2 glass, down the length Of d
long tube, at q light. set a little dis
tance beyond the opposite end of the
apparatus In the tube is placed a solu-
tion of the material under ANALYSIS.
When the tube Is empty a look into the
glass at the eXDeTimenter's end Of the
instrument shows round field. divided
into light and dark semi-circIes by

When material for analysis is placed
in the tube, the instrument is turned
