DR. CURRELL ATTENDS MEETINGS IN CHICAGO (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) and liberal schemes for the pro motion of higher education, and seems to favor the Land Grant Colleges and consolidat ed Universities. This policy is a serious handicaup to such separated universities as those in the Carolinas, Virginia, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa and Michigan. Their po sition is a difficult one, as a pol icy of obstruction is both un generous and unwise. "Many topics of interest 6 were discussed by various State University presidents, the most important being military in struction, salaries, and new problems raised by recent economic conditions. This last topic was ably and vigorously handled by President W. O. Thompson, of Ohio State Uni versity, who will deliver the Founders' Day Address at the University of South Carolina, January 15, 1920. As he is one of the best speakers in the As sociation, the students, the Fac ulty and citizens of Columbia may expect a rich treat on that occasion. "President Aley, of the Uni versity of Maine, read a very convincing paper on the impor tance of increasing the salaries of professors in view of the high cost of living. "On military instruction ad dresses were made by Presi dent Futrell, of Arkansas, Col. F. J. Morrow, Chairman of the Committee on Education, and Special Training, and Col. James, brother of the President of Illinois University. The trend of opinion was over whelmingly in favor of military training in universities, espe cially for Freshmen and Sopho mores, and the R. O. T. C. was cordially commended. Of the 43 State Universities, 37 have incorporated military instruc tion in their curricula. "President Boyd, of the Louisiana State University, was elected President of the Asso ciation for the coming year, and President Schlagel, of South Dakota, Vice President. President F. L. McVey, of Ken tucky University, was re-elect edl Secretary and Treasurer. W. S. CURRELL.

Freshman Connor received the well known yellow enve lope containing a notice to ap pear before the Dean to give cause why he should not be suspended for cutting classes. He waited until the Dean was out and approached Miss Knox with a sickly look on his face. "Mr. Connor, you have two absences against you in Math. I. What excuse have you for the first one?" "I had to see the dentist." "And the second?" "That was another date I had with the same dentist." "Did you have your feet worked on both times?" And they both blushed pro fusely, for there's a great dif ference between feet and teeth. (Figures are for October, 1919, and are furnished by the registrars or secretaries of the universities named.
