simplification of spelling as recon-
mended by the university committee
on publications. In the big list of
words submitted for semi-dec apitation,
all were adopted with the exception of
"Thot" and "Enuf," which were elm
mated. 1t is announced that these
rules as adopted will govern the
spelling in all university publications

department
