THE WORD "BUNGALOW."
1t Comes From the Hindi Bangla
Meaning Thatched Hut.

1t Comes From the Hindi Bansa,
Meaning a Thatched Hut.
The word bungalow is an Anglo-In
dian version of the Hindi bangla,
which primarily means Bengal. or
of Bengal. and is also applied to u
matched hut. says Country Life In
America. 1t may be worth while to
explain how this trivial and merely 10
cal name came to be fixed on the Eng
lishman's house in India.
Early residents there engaged in mil
itary. administrative or trading duties
lived a nomadic life for the greater
part of the year in tents. And since
there was nothing in the indigenous
buildings of Bengal suited to their re-
quirements their first dwelling houses.
designed by themselves and built OF
materials at site. were naturally plan
ned on the model of the Indian serv-
ice tents to which they were accus-
tomed-that is. a large and lofty room
surrounded by double walls of canvas
inclosing space between them. with
bath or store rooms.
1t is probably indeed. that in the
beginning the tent itself was occasion
ally covered with the sun proof thatch
or bangla, The name and the thatch
were all that were taken, and now
the origin Of the name Is forgotten
even by most Indians. who accept the
resonant. risyllabic bungalow as the
Englishman's own name for his OWL
peculiar house.

The annual deficit of the post office
department has been reduced only by
cutting down the amount paid to the
railroads for hauling mail. This comes
out in a statement issued by the COM
mittee on railway mail pay.
During the ten years from 1901 to
1911 the department took up an enor-
nous increase in business at a greatly
decreased cost for railway transporta-
ton and at largely increased cost
for other purposes.

ON SCHEDULE.

Trains on all the railroads kept to
their schedules very we'll today, in
spite of the cold and the snow. Delays
were felt on the trains from the east.
The high wind had the effect of slow

A sudden cold snap usually throws
train schedules away to the bad, but
this morning was an exception on
most of the roads. The c. & o. had
little trouble, but not enough to
amount to anything.

African Giants.

There are many giants in Africa nine
feet high. Some of them weigh 800
pounds and are strong enough to kill
a panther at one blow. Perhaps you
think such big fellows must be clumsy.
but they are not. They can run faster
than any horse. springing twelve to
fourteen feet at leap. This all sounds
like fairy story, but not So when you
hear that these African giants are

at Chicago. The heads of these schools
realize the value of consolidation and
one by one these institutions were
consolidated with the University of
Illinois, much the same as has been
done with the formerly separate insti-
tutions now constituting Tulane uni
versity. The work of consolidation at
Tulane was accomplished through the
efforts of President Craighead. The
work of consolidation at Illinois was
accomplished by Doctor Draper and
his predecessor. All these institutions
are now consolidated. They are UNI
der one president, and right now
steps are being taken in the legisla-
ture of Illinois to remove the College
Of Physicians and Surgeons to the
campus at Illinois. In fact, SO urgent

a request was made to the governor
to call a special session of the legis-
lature for this one purpose of CONSOLE

short time before all these colleges
and schools already under one head
will be located on the same campus.
In the very issue of The Muscular in
which this letter appears we find
Illinois classed as a consolidated uni
versity by President Hamilton of
Bozeman. Not many weeks ago Presi-
dent Hamilton was the chairman Of
the committee of the state teachers
association which drafted the resolu-
tons which We're passed in that meet
ing favoring consolidation. There is
no finer example of the recognition Of
the necessity of a consolidated uni
versity in the United States today
than the University of Illinois, as
everyone knows who knows anything
about that institution and as the per-
son signing to the article in The Mis-
soulian of January 20 should know
himself.

A UNIV

Despite the contention to the con-
university and that this may be made
n greater university if we will all pull
together in the earnest endeavor to
make ii SO. Critics of The Missoulian
say that a university is "a group of
colleges, or they may be called schools
OF departments, for undergraduate and
professional education, with a graduate
school for advanced original work re
CURED for the Pm. D. degree" This
defines exactly what the charter of the
University of Montana authorizes this
institution to be. The. charter confers
the powers, the faculty exercises these
powers. We have the charter, and
even president Craighead admits that
we have a great faculty. We have
several schools or departments. If
we have not advanced students, work
ing for doctors degree, it is not be-
cause We have not the right and the
ability to take care of them. If the
members Of the faculty will devote
the same amount Of effort which they
are ~cXpending in pursuing a Will-o'-
the-Wisp to an endeaVur 10 enlarge the
scope Of the operations of their insti-
tuition, they will find, very soon, that
they have a university in fun blast. If
there are empty peWs in n church, the
church is no less a church, though it
is not performing its fun duty. If the
church ills it's Ic>vs, it becames a
greater church. If We get our idle
departments working, we shall have a
greater university.

According to our idea of duty, tn,
first essential is loyalty. No man car
perform his duty toward his institu-
tion-bc il a peanut stand or a univer-
sity-if he is not loy.I to that insti-
tuition. If a man cannot be loyal, he
would better quit his job. We do not
believe we are throwing mud when we
assert that members of the university
faculty are not performing their duty
In brief outline, this is why we think

1t is not the duty of the faculty t.
declare that the university is no good
1t is not the duty of the faculty tc
write form-letters and to secure sig
natures to them by misrepresentine

donment of q military post, here OF

1t is not the duty of the faculty tC

solidatiOn plan.
1t is not the duty of the faculty t

KEEP COOL

MISUNDERSTANDING the present
discussion of university affairs the
writer would like to inquire as to the
qualifications and essential elements
requisite in a university professor.
1t would seem to me that one of the
important REQUESTS should be gentle
manly conduct.
Not having had the advantage of a
university education l may not be
qualified to Judge Of this. At the re-
cent MONDAY lunch of the chamber of
commerce when the university pro-
position was being discussed, a GER
tain member of the faculty, during the
entire discussion kept up a running
fire Of comments, heartily approving
or condemning the various statements
of the speakers; this was very dis
turbing and annoying to those about
him and the writer who sat next to
him felt many times like telling him
to shut up. 1t would seem that the
rudest boor from the back woods
would, unless under the influence of
liquor have respect enough for those
| about him to refrain from annoying
the listeners who were anxious to hear
! all that was said by the speakers. The
quiet gentlemanly conduct of President
Craighead, Professor Aber and others
was commendable, but the offensive
conduct of Mr.. Palmer should call for
severe censure. We are told by Presi-
dent Craighead that the higher educa-
ton is %elevating, pure and holy, that
it is far above the sordid business of
buying and selling and that we should

forded them there should all willingly

we waive all personal interest. He also
says that there is a very able faculty
at the p place which some OF
us had fondly spoken of as a univer-
sity. With these things impressed or
the mind of the ordinary layman is II
a wonder that when we see rude anG
unbecoming conduct in those who are
supposed to represent the highest type
of culture and refinement. When we
see methods pursued that are not dig
nified or becoming to high-class bust
ness methods, is it strange that the
ordinary average citizen should ask
rs the standard claimed by President
Craighead as high as it should be?"
