In this city on Wednesday evening wbb
an event of great interest to Univer
sity people.
Mr. W. W. Robertson, a student of
tho eighties and husband of Grace Bar

tho commissioners of the St. Louis
World's fair from the state of Wash
ington. Mr. W. B. Hunter. A. M. '98. was no

having charge of the work of oversee

this year. He had working under him
about thirty government employes.

The senior book committee an
nounces that the book will be on sale
next week at least three or four days
in advance of tho Sombrero. Although
this Ib earlier than last year's issue,
tho committee regret very much the
three weeks' delay due to the tardiness
of the engravers. But while tho Buf
falo engravers wero slow, their work
was moBt excellent.
Yesterday's conference in regard to
finances showed a considerable de
ficit quite certain. The present book
has departed from traditional lines to
such an extent that the book will cost
two hundred dollars more than previ
ous ones.
The book will be 6 by 9 Inches,
with 190 pages exclusive of ads, some
what larger than its predecessors. The
flno half-tone work, with the artistic
background effects, haB cost a great
dead of hard cash. Instead of leaving
the cartoons, drawings and sketches
for tho moBt part to the Sombrero, as
has been done heretofore, this year's
book has a greater number of them
than the combined senior books of the
past five years. For the first time the
"Josh," or moro correctly, the "grind"
department, will be profusely Illus
trated. Messrs. Soverln, Shldlor, Han
sen, Bumstead and Seitz; MiBses
Griggs, Field, and Brayton constitute
the artist corps. To mention tliese
names Is to announce the grade of the
work In tho book. All save BumBtead
and Seitz are well known to ITniver
Blty people. Alden Bumstead is the
fourteen-year-old Lincoln lad who has
mado such a hit In illustrating street
car advertising. He is now doing work
for KansaB City firms. F. W. Seitz is
a Chicago Art Institute student, whoso
services were secured through Robert
Hill, his friend and a member of the
book committee. He has contributed
eight cartoons that remind one of H.
R. Johnson of Arrowhead fame. The
, senior book artists this year are paid
' In legal tender Instead of promises.
They receive their pay, deficit or n6
deficit.
It became evident In yesterday's con
ference that owing to the additional
expense due to tho change in the char
acter of the book, and the fact that the
advertisers havo not been liberal
enough to overbalance this, a woeful
gap in the finances is certain. The ad
visability of advancing the price above
50 cents, the usual one, was considered,
tho Improved character of the book
making such a raise a possible solu
tion of the difficulty. But the commit
tee feels reluctant about taking such
a step, since they have previously an
nounced tho price of 50 cents. It was
decided last night to wait until Bomo
of the books woro off the press before
definitely deciding tho question of an
advance, inasmuch as the appearance
of tho finished book will be a largo
factor In the sale. It was ascertained
definitely that the sale of the full 1.000
copies att50 cents would leave $200 indebtedness.
