 It is estimated that there are sev. eral ways in which this novel plan of extending the influence of a State university will have a direct effect: In the first place, 1t will make the work of the university well and fav- orably known where 1t has been known only vaguely or even mistakenly; It will break down the already weaken ing barrier of educational exclusive ness; and more important still, 1t is one more link in the chain of rural betterment. It emphasizes an essential point in the present.day conception of rural life-that town and country are one community.

A UNIVERSITY
 GOES ION TOUR''

A Sestion of the University of Min
 nesota will go Ion tour" again this
 year. For one week last June the
 people of small towns in Minnesota had the State University in their midst in the form of it's most charac. teristic activities, and the eighteen communities benefited have unan, imously asked that the experience be repeated next year.
 University Week" is the institu' tion by which this is made possible. The project originated with President George E. Vincent, of the University of Minnesota, and at once gained the popular nickname of President Vim cents Educational Circus" largely be- cause of the touring method and the fact that 1t was at first planned to hold most of the sessions in tents.
 The plan is something more than merely university extension. To all intents and purposes a representative portion of the university-faculty, students, and eQuipment-is tempo rarily detached and transferred to other parts of the State, thus actually extending the benefits of the States costliest educational plant to wider field than ever before. The plan is considered by the United States Bu. reau of Education an excellent device for bringing together for mutual profit a State University and the people who support 1t.
 What university Week" really Is may be seen from a typical program. Each day of the six is devoted to some special topic, with lectures and demonstrations during the daytime and high class entertainments at night. Thus, Monday Is Busness Mems Day. There are lectures on all kinds of topics interesting to business men, from marketing problems to fighting forest fires, as well as a fe wtalks of more general nature. In the evening there is concert by the University Glee Club. Tuesday is Art and Liter ature Day, with lectures on libraries, children's books, women's clubs, civ ic betterment, the drama, and similar subjects. There is a reading hour in the afternoon, in charge of trained and an industrial art ex- hibit; in the evening an illustrated lee ture: "Art in Common Things"
