SUMMER STUDENTS AT
M. U. MAY PLAY, TOO

University Has 21 Tennis
Courts, Golf Links, Baseball
Fields. Courses for Teachers
of Athletics.
Summer Session students at
the University of Missouri at
Columbia will have every oppor-
tunity for outdoor sports. The
University has twenty-one ten
mis- courts, more than any other
university in the Missouri Val
ley and more than any other
western university except Chi
cago and Michigan. Fifteen of
these courts are for men, and six
are reserved for women. 1t is
also planned to add four or five
more tennis courts next fall.
During the regular session about
400 students play tennis, and
fully as many use the tennis
courts in the summer.
A nine-hole golf course is also
supplied by the University for
the use of students in the Sum-
mer Session and regular session.
&C. L. Brewer, director of athlet-
les at the University, says that
he knows of no other university
that supplies it's students with
such recreation.
Besides the tennis courts and
golf links, Summer Session
students can also find place for
sports and recreation on the
baseball and football fields and
the running track. A special
field is reserved as to a play
ground for women at the Uni
versity.
Five courses in physical educa-
tion are offered during the sum-
lmer session to meet the needs
of those who wish to qualify as
supervisors of physical educa-
tion in grade or high schools.
These courses are for both men
and women. The new play
ground of the University Ele-
mentary School will be used for
observation and laboratory
practice in connection with the
course in Fairgrounds.

My Dear Mr.. President:
1t is with sincere regret that l
have reached the conclusion that /
should return to you the commits
sion of secretary of state with
which you honored me at the be-
ginning of your administration.
Obedience to your sense of duty
and actuated by the highest mo-
tives, you have prepared for trans
mission to the German government
a note in which l cannot join with
out violating what l deem TO be an
obligation to my country and the
issue involved is of such moment
that to remain member of the
cabinet would be unfair to you as
it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the pre-
vention Of war.
l therefore respectfully tender
my resignation, to take effect when
the note is sent, unless you prefer
an earlier hour. Alike desirous Of
reaching a peaceful solution of the
problems arising out of the use of
submarines against merchantmen,
we find ourselves differing irrecon-
cilably as to the methods which
should be employed.
1t falls to your lot to speak off
cially for the nation; l consider it
to be none the less my duty to en-
deavor as a private citizen to pro
mote the end which you have in
view by means which you do not
feel at liberty to use.
In severing the intimate and
pleasant relations which have ex-
listed between us during the past
two years, permit me to acknowl-
edge the profound satisfaction
which it has given me to be asso-
ciated with you in the important
work which has come before the
state department, and to thank
you for the courtesies extended.
With the heartiest good wishes

this genial, Intellectual old-time
gentleman. His life was a
quiet, transformations one, yet a
life remarkable for those quail
tiles that make an enviable rec
ord, and he leaves a memory re-
vered by all who knew him.
He was a graduate of the Mis-
souri, State University and en-
joyed the distinction of being
that institutions oldest grad

He was a member of this or

for your personal welfare and for
the success of your administration,
/ am, my dear Mr.. President,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) w. ]. BRYAN.
My Dear Mr.. Bryan:
l accept your resignation only
because you insist upon its accept
ance; and l accept it with much
more than deep regret, with a
feeling of personal sorrow.
Our two years of close association
have been very delightful to me.
Our judgments have accorded in
practically every matter of official
duty and of public policy until
now; your support of the work and
purposes of the administration has
been generous and loyal beyond
praise; your devotion to the duties
of your great Office and your eager
ness to take advantage of every
great opportunity for service it of
fered has been an example to the
rest of us; you have earned our af-
fectionate admiration and friend
ship. Even now we are not sep
arated in the object we seek, but
only in the method by which we
seek it.
1t is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the
secretaryship of state goes so
much deeper than regret. l sim
cerely deplore it. Our objects are
the same and we ought to pursue
them together. yield to your de-
sire only because / must and wish
to bid you God speed in the part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same causes even when we do
not work in the same way.
With affectionate regard,
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
