 The major building activity was the enlargement of the Eielson Me- morial Building. The original one story structure of 54 by 84 feet was heightened 30 feet and heightened to three stories. The first floor will house the Physics Department and possibly the Link trainer, the second floor the administrative and the Extensions Service offices, and the third the University Museum.

and in 1887 it was found possible to introduce a course in music. It was this broadening of the scope o1 instruction that led the Board o1 Regents, in 1885, to advise change in the name of the institution to University of Alaska
 The University is unique among institutions of higher learning in several ways. For one thing, 1t IS isolated from other universities and colleges, the. nearest possible col legiate rival being two thousand miles away. This geographical iso- lation produces the unheard-of, a University with no intercollegiate sports, University that has yet to play its first game with another University This does not mean, however, that there are no sports on the University campus. The stu dents have their own ski lodge in the hills back of the campus. They have their own hockey rink on the campus. They have their we'll equipped gymnasium where they play intramural basketball, tennis, handball and badminton, and where they play against teams from Fair banks.
 Hunting Replaces Football
 Above all, they have their own game preserve in the unfenced hills along the Panama Valley, where bear, caribou, moose, ptarmigan and grouse are plentiful at times, and where wolves are occasionally seen. In the fall of 1885 a student at work in the chemistry laboratory spotted a moose in the flats below the cam pus, went to the dormitory for his rifle, and soon had moose

 HIGHER EDUCATION

the rich placer-gold fields of Inter for Alaska Many students secure employment in May and earn enough in the summer season to pay their expenses for the following school year And, especially for en- gineering students, such work for four months in the year makes text book study during the following eight months much more signifi- cant.
 Unique Function
 The location of the University, which makes it an interesting place to study, also creates unique prcb- lens. Here it is vain to apply, with out realistic adaptation, the same subject matter and the same teach ing methods that would be consid- cred satisfactory in the States. The main function of the institution is to provide the Territory of Alaska with an organized center of thought where practical advice can be given to citizens as well as to students concerning the problems peculiar. to the Territory. Much of the sub ject matter of higher education, of course, is universally applicable, but not all.
 In this regard the Home Econo- mics Department and the Extension Service have attempted to teach the women of the Territory how best to prepare the wild meat and fish, how to buy imported staples most economically, and how to do Weav- ing and knitting Experiments in raising crops and livestock suited to conditions in Alaska have been conducted at the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at Fairbanks and at the Sub-station at Matanuska. A second Sub-station has been es- tablished at Petersburg for fur farm experimentation. The Mining Extension courses. given in many towns all over the Territory, have attracted more than 500 students yearly.
 Alaska Lore
 The Department of Anthropology and the Museum have cooperated to preserve the artifacts of the natives, and to observe their rapidly disap- bearing and changing cultures. The Department of Education has tried to adapt teaching methods and cur ricula planning to the needs of schools in the Territory. The tech- nical curric la, of course, are planned with a view to their prac- tical application to mining and civil engineering problems in Alaska.
 Such, in brief outline, is the is- tory and the present position of the University of Alaska. What the future of the institution will be is contingent upon the growth of the Territory as a whole It may be that before 1850 the campus will have grown to accommodate more than 500 students, and that present plans for concrete communicating tun- nels and classroom buildings will have been realized Considering the splendid progress that has been made in the past IT years such spec ulations do not seem entirely wis., ionary.

By JAMES V. FLETCHER Assistant Professor of English,
 University Of Alaska

In less than IT years since it start ed with only six regular students, a small building meagerly equipped, and faculty of seven, the Univer- sity of Alaska has become center of practical and cultural interest in the Territory.
 Back in 1922 and 1923, when only the central block of the present Ad- ministration Building had been built people from Fairbanks used to come out in the spring to pick crocuses on College Hill; and some of them still remember that they used to point up at the little two story building, with 50 by 80-foot ground plan and wonder if from such a small beginning there would ever result an influential instltu- ton of higher learning.
 Today visitors from all parts of the Territory and travellers from all parts of the world drive out to the University to enjoy the spectacle of Americas farthest-north Univer- sity. And, more significant still, Alaskans from Ketchikan to Point Barrow think of the University when they have practical problems on which they wish advice or when they have children of college age who wish to become trained in teaching, engineering, farming, home econc- mics, or the arts.
 Students
 At the first registration, in the fall of 1922, only Is students en- rolled in the regular credit courses, and only AT enrolled in the short courses. Now there are 261 students enrolled in the regular credit cours- es and well over 800 in the exten- Gion and short courses. Altogether 145 students have completed their courses since May, 1923, when sim gle student, John Shanley, was graduated. More significant still, all of these graduates are gainfully employed with the exception of a few who are doing graduate work.
 The faculty of seven that greeted the six students in the fall of 1922 has grown until it now numbers 28 The standards of instruction main- tained by this faculty have gained recognition from the Northwest As socia ton of Secondary and Higher Schools, so that credits may be transferred from the University of Alaska to colleges in the States. One advantage enjoyed by both fac ulty and students is that the ratio of faculty to students is favorable to good instruction as result of small classes and helpful spirit of friendliness between instructor and student.
 Curriculum BrOadens
 Along with this growth in size has gone a steady expansion in the scope of instruction At first the institution, then called the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, devoted its efforts almost exclusively to practical studies re- lated to the problems of the Terri tory. And even today the empha- sis remains on mining, civil engin- eering and agriculture. But there has been an increasing demand for instruction in such fields as busl- ness administration, arts and let ters, anthropolOgy and education,

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When I was in the fifth grade,
this question came up in the class
room. Which is more important
fire or water?"
At that time it seemed to me that
water was more important. A per-
son might live without cooking food
and he could go to hot climate
to keep warm. Without water, on
the other hand, he would die, so
would all plants and all animals Of
sea, land and air.
Today I think of a very big
point which has something to do
with the question. The sun gives
us heat because it is burning in
one way or another. Scientists are
not sure just what kind Ct burn:
ing goes on, but it is fire OF some
sort"
Without the sun, there could be
no plant or animal life on earth.
This bright and beautiful earth
which ought to be happy place
for every one-would have no trees
or grass, no flowers, no people.
We say that wood burns, and
that is true. Yet it could not burn
If the air around it did not contain
oxygen.
The gas called oxygen" exists
In air-about one-fifth of the air
Is made up of 1t. 1t Is needed
when wood, paper, coal and other
things burn.
