Mr. Garrisons letter was delivered to cen Funston when he arrived with his troops at Galveston. It Is as follows.
 Expression of Appreciation.
 "My Dear General: Now that you and your command have returned safe ly to this country l desire to express to you the great appreciation that have of the excellent service rendered by you and the men under you while at Vera Cruz.
 Tn many wnys the situation there was as dlmcult, # not more so' as ae- 6nl warfare. The proper perform ance of the duty called for seli-re' straint. judgment cooiness and disci' pline in the very highest degree. The fact is that during all the months hat YOU occupied Vera Cruz there was not one untoward incident of great signi- ncanco.
 Great Danger Avertes.
 "Any iaxness of discipline or any careless handling of the situation might have precipitated consequences of a most disastrous character The sRn and ability Of the officers and the discipline and exemplary conduct of tho troops not only prevented any untoward Incident but reflected the greatest credit upon themselves and the country which they represented.
 "I desire to convey to you and the officers and men Of your command my warmest thanks and sincere appfeoie- tion.

tied private school ia Minnesota TO
offer a minimum OF one year and a
maximum Of two years OF university
work
This has never been done in the
past The action was characterized
By Prot. George y Bauer, chairman
Of the senate committee on educa-
ton, as the most farreaching step
taken by the senate since its organ
izauon
The significance OF the action is In
the possibilities il opens up 10 high

Students. taking such-courses. would
not be given credit for such work AT
the university toward their degree
Under the new rule the university
will recognize toward advanced
standing credits earned in school
giving a partial college course a.
such school complies with certain re-
quirements.
The consequence, then. Is that any
standard high school in the state that
wishes to offer advanced work, and
thus allow it's own students 10 do uni
versity work without going away
from their home town, may do so.
II is the belief OF members OF the
university faculty that the high
schools in the larger towns OF the
state will take advantage of the lib
.eral ruling OF the university senate
and establish years college course
for the benefit and convenience OF
their students.
The conditions laid down by the
university for granting college cred
its for advanced high school work
are considered as simple as they
schools and at the same time insure
work of university grade. The frst
is that the students taking the ad
vanced work must have completed
the full course at an accredited high
school This has always been one OF
the conditions for entrance TO the
university. The school at which the
advanced work is 10 be done must
Offer at least one ful year or college
work that has been approved by the
university on the recommendation oil
an authorized representative who has
visited the school and made an exam
ination OF its equipment, facilities
and methods OF instruction.

tage OF this rule il will be necessary
for IL 70 offer such number Of uni
versity courses as 70 enable the. stu
dent TO take a minimum OF IA credit
hours in a year. BY credit hour is
meant that the advanced courses
would be such as TO enable the stu
dent 70 take subjects in which they
would have IA recitations of an hour
each during the year.
The rule provides that in no case
will the university give college credit
for more than two years work In sucf
schools. The rule was passed by :
practically unanimous vote OF the
university senate.

HOW DID DOLLAR
