FIRST NUMBER OF WINTER
SERIES APPEARS HERE
OCTOBER sTH.
WILL BE A LECTURE BY DE
E. L. EATON, POPULAR
CHAUTAUQUA MAN.

Owing to the fact that most of New
Ulm is intensely interested in tn
European War, the Committee having
in charge the work of bringing The
University Extension courses herr.
thought best to cancel the fall and
winter engagements of the Lycem
Course contracted for and wrote to the
University Extension Division to that
effect. They were informed that it rs
too late now to cancel the engagements
and so New Ulm will be called upon to
greet the first number of the series
early next month. There was no reason
for the committee to cancel the engage
ment other than their fear that enm
interest could not be aroused at this time
to guarantee the financial success of the
venture and they were wise in attempt
ing to put off the work until more
settled time. However, since they were
unable to make these arrangements, it is
up to the citizens to see them thru the
business and provide for the financial
end OF the undertaking by buying
tickets to meet the expenses of the course.
1t will be easier for citizens to under
take this matter, however, since it hax
been announced that there will be mn
University Week here next summer.
New Ulm has had two Summer terms
OF this work and thoroly enjoyed them
altho the committee had to meet sliglK
deficit the last time. Next year we VIZ
be off the circuit and there will be no
opportunity to enjoy the splendid talent
sent out by the University and it VII
therefore be to the interest of citizens
generally to support the winter course
generously. Season tickets will be solo
for the five numbers at $3.50 and !the
committee will soon undertake the work
OF disposing of some 800 of them. This
will provide against a deficit. Single
searts will sell at so cents EACH PupHr
OF the city schools will be admitted al
rs cents. 5-7--4set- zz---
The program for the series consists
OF five numbers: It was at first arranged
Tor SIX but when the committee asked
the cancellation of the course. the
University Extension Division was able
to make one concession and struck the
October 29th number from the series
This was the Alice O'Conne1l Reading
and while it would have been without
doubt an enjoyable number, it was
thought best to accept the offer kp
cancel it. The other numbers are as
follows: October 9Th, DR.. E. L. Baton:
December 10th, McPhai,l String Quar-
tette; January 9th, John Archer Gray-
January 28th, Lincoln Writ: February
18th, Chicago Male Quartette. ThE
gives five excellent entertainments and
the cutting out of the O'Connell programs
lessons the expense to some extent, and
it is hoped, will prevent deficit.
Some OF the dates may seem to come
rather close together but it is necessary
to consider many other engagements in
making out the schedule and the Ex-
tension Division finds it necessary tn
guard against the expense of doubde
travel because the lectures and concerts
are sent out at such exceedingly low
prices that there is no surplus Of funds
for uncalled for railroad expenditures
1t is to be hoped that the citizens in
general will feel the necessity of support
ing the hackers of the movement by
purchasing tickets generously and thus
encourage them in the undertaking
which is likely to prove a burden other
wise.

program. He will probably speak on
Ghosts, COLLINS, and Witches, study
