Professor C. J. Frankfurter has been

to training camp, probably at Fort

will return to the university in the
fall.
1'rrfessor Frankfurter and his as
sistants have been in charge of the
sewage disposal question in the city
of Fremont. This work is a result of
a law suit. He has been assisted by
former Dean Stout of the college or

at the university who have been as
