RAILROADS WILL CO.
OPERATE WITH W.S.C.
'onsummation of Present Plans viii
Bring Views, illustrated Lee
lures, Etc, for Student
Enlightenment

W. }. Potter of the department of
economic science and history has all
most completed plans by which the
railroads OF the Northwest and the
state College will cooperate in pro-
Viding additional opportunities to
the students for the study of the
transportation problems of the
Northwest. W. Elliot, district freight
and passenger agent of the Union pa
.cific lines, and E. Carson. travelling
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee and St. Paul. have signified
their Willingness to cooperate with
the State College by sending litera-
turc, views of the lines. and repre-
sentatiyes to give illustrated lectures
and addresses on their various lines.
The departments of economic sci
ence and history, forestry engineer
ing, and agriculture will cooperate
directly with the railroads in the
work. The students of these depart-
mcnts are directly interested in the
transportation problems of the
Northwest and will be greatly bene-
fitted by the first-hand information
they will receive from the representa-
tves of the companies. The scenic
views which have been promised will
!
add much in decorative way to the
wall of the buildings, and 9the maps
and other literature will be of much
value in the transportation courses.
While the railroad companies are in
tcrested primarily in the proposition
bccauso of its advertising value 20
them, they have also expressed them
selves as DESTROYS of cooperating
with the State College in any way
possible.
At the present time only two lines
have agreed to participate, but Prof.
Potter is confident that he will be
able to bring in the Northern Pacific.
Great Northern, Canadian Pacific.
and Northwestern. With these lines
cooperating with the college, much
that is eminently worth while must
result. Mr.. Potter hopes that greater
interest in the transportation courses
will be taken by the students. 1t is
also possible that the college may be
able to establish a course that will
fit men for positions with the rail-
roads.
In connection with this work, a
complete collection of time tables,
maps and other literature desired by
tourists will be kept at the college
for the information of anyone who
may wish it. This collection will re-
semble those kept by big hotels. 1t
will be of great help to the students
of the transportation courses also.

touring America possesses this dis
tinction.
In their concert of Tuesday even
ing the Hoellners will be playing a
program that has been selected by
members of the music department Of
the college with especial attention
10 the likes of Pullman people. Much
of the solo work has been left out

so well the ensemble effects have
been chosen.
