LIFE COURSES !" ARE COMBINED

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 30.-By uniting it's various depart ments of biological sciences Stanford University has organized the first school of biology in any American university, as the result of action taken by the Stanford AcadeWic Council recently, it is said here. The school of biology includes the existing departments of anatomy, bacteriology, experimental pathology, bloch emistry, botany, entomology, paleontology, physiology, psychology, zoology, food research. and Hopkins Marine Station.
 Beginning next year, students at Stanford majoring in this school will be granted the A. B. degree in biology, although it will be pos sible for them tdetake the degree | in separate biological subjects as at present if they choose.
 The faculty of the school consists of the teaching staffs of the depart ments, together with an executive head who will be appointeu from it's
 present membership. The depart ments will retain control of their internal department affairs, but ad-
 ministration of the school in gen.
 eral will be under an executive
 committee headed by Professor Earn
 est G. Martin.
 Tor their degree Under the new regime, students will be required to
 devote one third of the college work of four years to preparation in bio logical sciences and in general to
 put in the equivalent of at least one full quarters work in each oi
 the three departments of the school of biology. Their program of study as a whole will be under the di- rection of the school faculty.
 The new school, coordinating all i the work of the biological depart ments under. one faculty and Ia single head, is the outgrowth of the conviction that there are adyan- ltages in offering students an op- rortunity to master the fundament- als of all biological science rather than to specialize too early in single branches. It is thought that the individual needs of many students can be more effectively met by such coordinated course.

Washington's needy children may

next Christmas than ever before as
a result Of action taken at the

fore the club for action at the next

Miss Lydia, Ehrhardt, one OF the

today that the entire estate was

Although the robbers, who burned
through the back OF the vault with
acetylene torches, are believed to
have done their work between Sat-
urday night and Monday morning,

known until yesterday. First re-
ports minimized the loss.
