Boucher Answers Questions.
The chancellor will answer such questions as
"Does the army program overshadow the civilian
program?" "What types of change will be made
in university programs following the war?" "What
about shorter courses?" "What is the attitude
toward athletics in the postwar period?" and "Dur
ing the last decade, what has been the most serious
problem of the university?"
Since the beginning of classes of the university
on September 7, 1871, the university has 59,000
former students and graduates, and has granted
84,512 degrees, according to the January issue of
the Nebraska "Alumnus" which signalized the ap
proaching three-quarter mark of the university by
publishing a six-page history of the university.

Charter Day. The New York Alumni club is plan
ning its Charter Day meeting and dinner to be
held at the Henry Hudson hotel. The Kansas City
alums plan a dinner at the Green Parrot inn.

of the National Association of State Universities,
appointed to study some of the major problems of
state universities in the war and postwar periods,
