A shipment of glassware has just been received by the chemistry de partment and was placed in the store room In the main hall yesterday after noon It came direct from Berlin nnd is a very valuable lot of goods, worth in value something over $4,100. The glass came packed in seventeen boxes and all In very good shape. A force of men was at work the greater part of the afternoon and getting it In out of tho weather Mr. Jay Barret of the Nebraska His torical Society, received eight thous and pounds of material from Brown vile, Neb., yesterday, as a result of hlb recent trips to that place.

Ho will return to the same position after his few days' sojourn here. New Professor in Medicine.

A. at the University of Toronto, and a short time later ho obtained the doctors degree In science at the University of Chicago. Since completing his student work leading to degrees Dr. Llllle has been engaged as instructor at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass., at the University of Michigan and at Harvard Medical School. Conservatory Notes. Registration still continues at tho school of music. Two hundred stu dents aro onrolled, and almost all of them new students.

Mr. Pftlzner of Berlin, is director of tho pianoforte department In place of Mr. Eames who Ib spending liiu year in Europe. Miss Arnold, a new addition to the facult , Is also on Instructor in tho piano department. She is a pupil of Ix-'schtllzky of Vienna.

Until a new commandant arrives at the university Major Burke M. Hall of the cadet battalion will be acting commanding officer. He will be In charge of tho organization of the bat talion and will attend to business con nected with the department. Miss Daisy Bonnell, who has been one of the fellows in Botany for the post two years, has resigned in order to accept a good position in the Omaha high school. STUDENTS ARE SLOW Registration of Last Years Third Day Ahead Suggested Cause of Light Matriculation -future Lawyers. Tho same continuous lino of students passed before tho desks of the register ing clerks all day yesterday. Tho work Is being minimized and abridged as carefully as possible and Is therefore dispatched with little confusion. The organization of the new office force and tho new way of registering Is due In most part to the untiring ofTor.ts of Mr. 8hedd, tho registrar. Tho comparative results of this and last year's registration on tho third day Ib ns follows: 1901 1902 Matriculations 304 28G 3rd day's matriculations 102 93 Registrations 673 597 3rd day's registrations 331 309 It will be observed that the num bers of the two years in comparison shovr a slight advantage with last year. Tho students arc either slow about registering or will not come up to the mark in point of attendance with last year. It Is reported that tho largest percentage of new studonts Is from the city schools. It seems that Blnco the advertlsomcnt of the increased en trance requirements there Is more hes itation about entering tho university from those districts whero tnoro are not fully accredited high schools. Pre vious to registration week the indica tions pointed to the largest attendance In the history of the university, but re sults during the last three days aro be ginning to cast a different light on the real stato of affairs. Tho law school registration must also be account for as it is for tho first time opened to registration with the regular academic students. Flfty-Bix registration cards have been Issued by Dean Reese up to the present time. As the lawyers have not registered so early heretofore some slight delay may easily be accounted for In that depart ment. Course in Foresty. In answer to a number of inquiries, it may be stated authoritatively that ordinary graduates of tho general scientific and the biological groups can complete the course In forestry after two additional years of study. By judicious selection of subjects for election the students in the general scientific group can secure the forestry degree one year abter obtaining his degree of Bachelor of Science. It is the Intention of the faculty to allow a few necessary substitutions of studies for tho benefit of graduates who wish to enter the work in forestry. The.de mand for trained men Is so great that it is desirablo to meet It as early as possible. Miss Kate Heacock of Falls City la a new Phi Phi pledge. -
