Cap and Gown Lectures.

The Y. NJ. c. A, in conjunction with
the literary societies, is taking steps
to establish what promises to be one
OF the most pleasant features Of the
university life. They propose during
the present year, and probably 1t will
take rank as . permanent affair, to
conduct series Of popular university
lectures, to be known as the Cap and
Gown Lectures" The lectures will
be delivered by members OF the fac
utly, the general public will be In
vited, and the course will be free to
all The feature which gives the
course its name Is the fact that the
professors are to deliver the lectures
IN academic robes. The series prom
ises to bring the student body and
the citizens together In q pleasing
way, and presents an opportunity for
the professors to present the subjects
OF popular nature in which they are
interested to a cultured and appreci-
alive audience. Many OF the faculty
have been delivering such addresses
IN different parts of the State, but
there has as yet been no opportunity
presented for the local audience to
enjoy them.

Farmers Agricultural Course.

The College Of Agriculture OF the
West Virginia University will hold an.
other short course in agriculture for
the farmers OF the state. This course
will begin January Z, 1913, and last
for ten days.
The same equipment and facilities
that are used in the teaching of the
four years course, will be used In this
short course. The instruction will not
only be given by the regular instruc
tors OF the College OF Agriculture, but
experts Of prominence from different
parts OF the state and from other
states will assist in the work. Special
lectures and entertainments will be
given each evening.
The entire cost, including board,
room and registration fee, need not
exceed $500. One day at this course
may amply repay farmer for the full
amount expended.
A large number Of farmers attended
the course last year and every one
felt that It was money well en
pended. One farmer who has at
tended the course for seven successive
winters, won nearly all the West Vir
ginia first prizes on fruit and vegeta,
bles at the State Fair at Wheeling
The farmer who can leave his farm,
or the farmers boy who has no
definite line OF study for the winter,
should arrange to take this short
course at the college.

Fossils of Rare Mammals.

!. w. Gidley, assistant curator OF the
new National Museum, told the Biologl-
cal Society OF Washington last week OF
the discovery near Cumberland, Md, OF
a cave filled with fossil remains, some
of which have been definitely identified
as being those of the Gland. an animal
common to Africa, but never suspected
OF having inhibited this continent.
The deposits were declared to be
among the most valuable ever uneathed
in this country, and will, il is believed,
throw considerable light upon the fauna
of prehistoric ages. Some OF the fossils
are thought to be of entirely new species,
and their discovery may develop the TACT
that mammals unknown 10 science existed
on this continent thousands OF years ago.
The fossils were discovered in a lime
stone hill, near Cumberland, through
which an excavation was made last sum-
mer by the Western Maryland Railway.
They were imbedded 100 feet from the
surface. Publication OF the unearthing
OF the beds was withheld, pending inves-
tigation by the National Museum. This
work has progressed sufficiently to indi-
cate that the discovery will constitute a
great addition to the worlds biological
lore. Further excavations are to be
made.
The deposits are thought to have been
made in the Pliocene age. The teeth and
one side OF the upper jaw of an Gland had
been found. II was never suspected by
science that this animal ever inhabited
this continent. Fossils Of the plea, a
small rabbit which had been found no
where east OF the high peaks OF the ocky
Mountains, also were unearthed, while
other fossils found have not been identl-
fled, the museum experts being unable
to group them according TO any OF the
known prehistoric mammal species.
The deposits indicate that the bones in
many of the animals were broken. 1t is
believed that this was caused by the
mammals falling into the cave. AS yet
only the surface OF the bed has been ex-
plored.

{. C.. Mercer Visits w. v. u.

Mr.. e. c. Mercer visited the univer-
sity, under the auspices OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, for four
days, October 18th to 18th inclusive.
Mr.. Mercer, who in his own college
life was very dissipated, but later was
converted in the Jerry McCauley Mis-
sion, is now giving all his time to work
In the interest Of the moral and re-
ligious life in colleges and universities.
Probably no man In America has had
the opportunity to meet so many col
lege students and to obtain first-hand
knowledge of college and university
life. He has been in his present posi-
ton as special secretary to the col
leges OF North America for six years,
and has visited every university and
almost every college in the country
during that time. While Mr.. Mercer
spoke to large audiences OF college
men and women while he was in Nor
gantown. probably his best work was
done, as 1t has been In other institu-
tons, in the fraternity and boarding
club groups which he met at meals
or at other times.
Mr.. MERGERS estimate OF conditions
at West Virginia University, after a
close investigation and conference
with doctors and officers OF the city
and university and personal &C
quaintance with most Of the crowds
Of the school, was one which must
give a great deal Of pleasure to all
friends of the State institution.
Il fnd," he said, that West Vir-
ginia University is phenomenally
clean and moral There Is practically
no immortality practiced by the men
of the university. 1t Is one Of the four
or five cleanest student bodies in the
country. The change since my last
visit here three years ago has been
wonderful"
He attributed the condition partly
to local conditions in Morgantown,
which he found remarkably good, and
partly to a general change In the
moral attitude Of college students the
country over which has been taking
place most noticebaly in the last five
years.
He also stated It as his opinion that
the State institutions would be the
universities of the future. In them
has been witnessed the greatest
growth in size during the last few
years, and 1t Is also there that the
biggest change in moral character has
been witnessed. Speaking OF the Fed
Grafton OF Women's Clubs, which at.
tended the Wednesday morning con-
vocation en- masse to hear him, he
said:
There is no place away from home
to which you can send your boy SO
safe as college or university, and
know of no school safer than West
Virginia University"

Including those who entered the Col
lege of Law as flrst-year students. OF
the total number there are 11s In the
College of Arts and Sciences, AZ I'M
Engineering, Is in Agriculture, and
the remainder In the College OF La"
and the School of Medicine. The large
enrolment in the College Of Arts and
Sciences is especially pleasing to
those who feel that the large emphasis
placed on technical education VIII
tend to decrease the number OF stu
dents interested In the studies that go
to make up a liberal education. IL
seems to have worked the other way
In the university, the College Of Arta
and Sciences having the largest ratio
Of increase in students.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children At an early age
become constipatcd, and frequently
serious consequences result Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, SCI Charles St,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
We like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful FOR
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor OF any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard il is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff.
Guilty is overcome. The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box OF rs doses costs
only IS cents. Never sold in bulk.

UNIVERSITY IS
GIVEN PRAISE
PRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTION
HAS HIS WHOLE SOUL IN
THE WORK
NO PREPARATORY STUDENTS
Four Young Men Take the COMPETE
tive Examination For Appointment
the Rhodes Scholarships From
West Virginia

Never In the history Of It's existence
has this institution had a brighter
future before it. The president fully
appreciates the responsibility that
rests upon him, and he has thrown
his whole soul into the work. He has
the hearty cooperation Of the entire
faculty, as well as of the people OF
the whole state. He Is broad-minded
and not willing to see one department
of the school built up at the expense
of the other; but the thing that should
please the farmers most Is the fact
that the president believes that there
Is no department in the institution
that is of more vital Importance to
the state than the Department OF Agri,
culture. 1t may be said OF him that
he loves not the other departments
less, but this one the more. Had
this view Of agriculture been taken
twenty years ago, how much better
1t would have been for the material
interests of the state. And / know OF
no people who are to blame for 1t
more than the farmers. We have SIM
ply been inactive and uninterested In
the things that not only meant more
to US than anything else, but more to
the people Of the state. The West
Virginia College of Agriculture and
Experiment Station are In q more
healthy condition than they have ever
been. The Board of Regents has given
to the Dean and Director a corps OF
very valuable and efficient assistants.
During the past year not single COM
plant has come to me that letters OF
inquiry written by farmers were not
answered promptly. These professors
are not only willing to answer all in
Quiries from farmers promptly, but
they are anxious that farmers should
write to them for help. This institu.
ton Is ours and the president and
entire faculty are our servants, and
we should not hesitate to call upon
them to help us.
The Short Course.
81 have letter from young farmer
who says he is forty years old and
asks whether 1t will pay him to attend
the short course at Morgantown the
coming winter. He may be a little
too young to get the most out of
course of that kind, but yet l would
not hesitate to say that 1t will pay
him a hundred-fold. The writer was
of more mature years when he left
his farm two winters to attend this
short course, but he has always felt
that he never made an investment
that paid half so well-not that the
learned SO much, but that he found out
that there was 80 much he did not
know that he should know. No farmer
who expects to manage his farm five
years longer can afford not to take
in at least one of these short courses,
West Virginia ought to have thou.

School of Music Concert.

II, before the State Federation OF

held in Commencement Hall. Grace

Louis Black, Rudolf Wertime and Mar

the excellent programme. The names
are enough to indicate the class OF the
entertainment. A unique feature OF
the programme was the number by,
the University Choir, "Recessional."
The concert served again to show the
high class of our School Of Music.
The women, who were gathered from
all parts OF the State, were unanimous
in praise of what they pronounced by
far the best musical school in West
Virginia.
