An era of great expansion we hope
lies before your alma mater. The
state board of education has already
authorized the local board to engage
for the fall session the following pro-
fessors and Instructors:
Domestic Science-Mary e. Ed
monds. a graduate and for three years
an instructor at the University of Ohio

partment She will be assisted by
Miss Brewer who still remains in
charge OF the dining hall, and also by
Professor Bateman of the department
of chemistry.

professor employed will cooperate
with Miss Knowles in the fine arts de-
partment and will ALSO give much at
tention to household decorations.
Commerce and accounting.
Journalism-For the department of
commerce and accounting and also for
the department of journalism maxi
mum salaries have been set aside and
1t is our purpose to secure two of the
ablest available men for these depart
ments.
Law-Three new professors win be
employed in the law department, and
1t Is the determination OF the local
board to make 1t one Of the best in the
country.
A Professor Of French Hitherto
Professor Scheuch has taught both
French and German. but the work has
grown too heavy for one man-hence
there will be employed professor Of
French who will give his whole time
to French and Spanish.
A professor of bacteriology and
physiology.
A Professor Of Vocal Music-The
salary set aside for this new depart
ment will enable us to engage the
services of one OF the best trained
vocalists In the country.
Two new professors of forestry.
Pharmacy-The recent action of the
state board transfers the department of
pharmacy from Bozeman to Missoula
Professor Mollett will be in charge of
this department. Our entrance re-
quirements in this and in all new de-
partments will be enforced. The uni-
versity will admit no student who Ii
not q graduate OF four-year high
school or who has not had equal
preparation. This will at once put the
work In pharmacy on a professional
basis as Is found only in the best uni.
versities Of the country.
The recent action of the. state board
of education has also transferred to
Bozeman the college of engineering
Old students and prospective students.
however, are asked to examine the
courses Of study hitherto announced
in the engineering college. Subjects
checked win still be given at the uni
versity either In the arts and science
college or In the new school OF for
estry. 1t is the hope Of the presi-
dent and faculty that students who do
not find at the university at Missoula
the work they desire may be able to
get what they want either at the agri-
cultural and mechanical college al
Boseman or at the school OF minel
at Butte.
