University Notes

WINE one OIL lne professors o. tue
University OF North Dakota vas in the
east recently he heard many crafty
ing remarks about the State Univer-
sity. He found that as a state, North
Dakota is attracting a great deal Of at
tendon throughout the country. All
most all the textbooks in Economics
mention the production Of Dakota,
and educators are attracted to the syS-
TEN of education in the stale. A care
full comparison of the public school
system, normal schools, and State
University with that Of other states
throughout the Northwest places
North Dakota in the front ranks; and
this, together with the vast resources
of the state which are now being de-
veloped, gives it a position of much
importance. Well might the citizens
of our state be justly proud Of Jul ed
vocational system.
Organization.
The organization CT the University
for the coming year is now complete
and everything is in readiness for the
most successful year in the history Of
the institution. The professors as
sure us of a large increase of students
from all over the state, young people
have signified their intention of at
tending this year.
Perhaps it would-be interesting to
the public in general to have the fol.
lowing facts in regasd to- the Univer.

sist. This makes a total of SO per-
sons giving instruction in the Univer.
sity to a total of 1929 students during
the past year. The faculty is indeed
a very capable and complete body OF
men and ome They are uniformly
selected because of marked ability
and force of character and r grad.
yates of the best colleges and univer.
sites in the country and are thor
oughly qualified in every respect TO

for which they are chosen. Practi'
cally all the faculty have arrived at

Physical Training and Athletics.
Athletics is going to be a "big
BOOM at the University this year and
the general ncour of opinion lis
THAT N. D. is going to turn out the
best team in foot ball she has ever
known. Athletic stock took a big rise
when Head Coach Gill arrived. Coach
Gill comes to North Dakota Univer
sity from Albion College, Michigan.
where his team won the championship
last year. Coach Gill has been On the
ground for about a week now and has
been gradually getting things into
shape for the initial practice of the
year which was held last Monday eve
ming, September IA. The opening
game Of the season is with the Gopher
aggregation at Minneapolis and the
slogan is get Minnesota" and with
the material around which to build his
team, which Coach Gill is bound tc
have, it looks as if Minnesota would
be given a battle. Last year N. D
won from Minnesota in basketball
and they have never forgotten the de
feat and will no doubt bend every eff
fort to down the Northerners.
