acter to commend itself to all who are
interested in really good things in toe
educational and entertainment line.
The course is given under the direction
of the University Extension division

Normal school at Gunnison. The per-

violinist; Gilbert Davis Brilliant, plan
list; Olive +. Olander, reader; Eva AL
berta Rogers, soprano.
The course has been arranged with n
view of reaching as many people as
possible. The university, therefore,
asks only the expense of the undertake

tributing their services to the cause.
