Fartherest North College e Success

mems. This department has alread assembled between nine hundred an, a thousand specimens, including tn standard education series. Before tn
 year is over it will have the bes
 collection of Alaska specimens eve assembled, a work when once wei done will not have to be repeated every year or so.
 The third floor is given over tc Home Economies, the Agricultural and Civil Engineering departments The assembly room is used fol classes in mathematics and for the drafting tables. It is particularly well suited for this work. The agri curtural laboratory , is we'll equipped but of course needs more room in, side, and buildings for work that cannot be carried on with present facilities. Off the foods laboratory is the lunch room, which is one of the Colleges most appreciated con, veniences. Lunches are served at the noon hour for from twenty-five to thirty-five cents.
 This, is a college in the beginning. It's object is to be of real actual ser vice to the people of the Territory, A short course in mining began No vember 6. It will run for period of ten weeks, at the end of which time the same work will be repeated for the convenience of those who are unable to take the work now. The Farmers Short Course, to cover eight weeks, begins January, and a Short Course in Home Economies, covering a period of twelve weeks, begins February 5.
 There was some alarm expressed when so many of the Fairbanks High School students left for the States to attend College. There is no occasion for either alarm or worry The College will admit them to advanced standing upon their re- turn, if they are found to be pre- pared, It won't discriminate against them, although it is unfortunate that they are missing the great oppor- tunity of having what is equivalent of individual attention, so much needed by the average Freshman.
 It is interesting to not the two of the students, the McCombe boys, are from Dorval, Quebec. They heard of the college when in Vancouver and lost no time in hurrying North. It is a safe prediction that as soon as the work of the college is known, for every one who hurries away to attend college two will be hurrying here to avail themselves of the ex- ceptional advantages afforded
 The College is going to have a phenomenal growth. With the ex- ception of one only. all the members of the present graduating class of the Fairbanks High School are plan ming to attend the "Farthest North" College next year. Without ques- tion as soon as funds are provided and the necessary buildings are con- structed, students will come from all part of the Territory, as well as from the States.
 President Bunnell believes that everything the student requires should be furnished him as near cost as possible. The College book store is handled on this plan, and as soon as dormitary is constructed it is expected the same policy will be maintained in boarding and housing students. With adequate facilities President Bunnell points out that at least a hundred miners and pros pectors could take the short course in mining, have all the advantages the college can afford, and at an expense far below what it now costs to live in a cabin in town.
 Not unlike other institutions of it's kind the rapidity of it's growth will be gauged to certain extent by the amount of funds available for it's maintenance. Two additional build ings are of vital necessity next year; one School of Mines building to make space in the present building available for other purposes and the other dormitory. The building program of course should include a library and gymnasium.
