DOCTOR CARROLL.
DE YOUNG LECTURE8.
Will Be Honored by the University of
Nebraska.
At the Medical School commence
ment next month the University of Ne
braska will confer the honorary de
gree of Doctor of Laws upon Major
James Carroll of the United ' States
Army Medical Department. This is a
distinction not lightly bestowed by this
University and the rarity with which
it is confered shows that It Is given
only when the recepient of the honor
has done some high work that niakes
him deserving of the degree. .

member of a commision of army medi

originally appointed by tiie secretary,
of. War included Drs. Reed, Carroll,
Lazcar, and Agromonate. In Cuba Dr.
Agromonate was stationed at Havana
and the rest of the commission took
up quarters at Columbia Barracks near
Quernodas where they began their In
vestigation. The theory that yellow fever was
spread thru the agency of mosqultos
was conceived and announced by Dr.
Carlos Finley of Havana in 1881. in
order to test the validity of this theory
Dr. Carroll submitted himself as a sub
ject of cxperlniont and on August 27,
1900 allowed himself to be bitten by
the "yellow fever mosqultos." A
sevore attack of the disease followed
and compelled him to go to bed Au

roll, and others later by different men
established the truth of the theory ad
vanced by Dr. Finley.

Cuba that the University of Nebraska
will confer the degree of Doctor of
Laws upon him.

nil-round championship. In the team
championship the place each man wins
wljl count towards the total score of
his team, first place counting five, sec
ond place three, and third, one. As an
Individual, each man will be scored by
the judges according to his perfor
mance in eaoh event on a basis of a
possible ten for perfect work. Only
one man from each team will be al
lowed to .enter for the individual all
round championship.
Last year as many as wished might
enter and Johnson and Copeland won

taking second to Wisconsin In spite of
the fact that the other teams had a
larger number of man entered. John

championship and will compete in the
following events; horizontal bar, long
and side horses, parallel bars and fly
ing rings; D. C. Mitchql will enter the
.parallel bars, tumbling and tho horl-.

The Western Amature Athletic
Union's gymnastic' championship will
take place Saturday night nnd it was
hopod that it wouhl ' be possible to
enter at least Johnson in this, but ow
ing to the fact thnt this Is a sectional
meet arid that Nebraska is in another
sectional division of theA. A.' U. the
authorities in charge refused to allow
Nobraskals, men to enter. Dr. Clapp
will act as one of the judges in this
meet.
Tho gymnastic team and Dr. Clapp
deserve much credit for' the hard and
faithful work they have,jwt in in 'pre
paring for this contest. The team has
shown up splendidly ln its exhibition
work here and should stand a splen
did chance to win.

Arrangements havo been definitely
made for the establishment of a
wholesale text-book business to bo car
ried on by the University, for tho pur
pose of Turnishing students with text
books nt the cost prlco. Tho five thou
sand dollars sot apart for tho purpose
by tho Legislature will bo invested in
books for the boglnnlng of tho school
year next fall, tho some of the Sum
mer School material may also bo pur
chased. The Rogonts woro somowhat loath
to enter the business at first, because
it" was folt that studonts would not,
perhaps, save as much as they had
anticipated, but having oncq taken up
the mnttor, they propose to pimh It
thru, making It a success.
A room for the purpose will bo fur
nished on the second floor of Admin
istration building and light, heat and
probably clcrk-hiro will be furnished
by tho University so thnt thoso itoms
will not udd to the cost prices charged
of studontB. The freight charges, how
ever, will likely 'increaso tho cost of
books. Whethor or not this may bo
added to the wholesale prico depends
on the decision soon to bo rendered
by tho nttorney-genernl of tho state as
to the meaning of tho word "costB" In
the stntuto. As the plan dovelops, not'
only text-books, but also paper and all
other supplloB will bo handled by the'
University.
Registrar E, H. Clark has boon ap
pointed purchasing agent and will hnvt
direct control ovor this business. Al
tho full authority to act on toxt-book
questions from ths time on is vested
in him, ho will retain his prosont posi
tion as Registrar for the romainder of
the semostor nt least. Ultimately, an
other person will bo uppolnted'to' suc
ceed Mr. CInrk, but this appointment
will not bo announced until tho next
meeting of tho RogentB in June.
The future of the present book
stores cannot bo determined at pres
ent. Neither proprietor has anything
definite in mind, nnd whether there
will be a consolidation of tho two into
one, whether thoy will continue as
sepai-ale establishments, or whether
they will bpth discontinue business is
as yet unknown. One of the proprie
tors declared that as he understood
the matter, the University would
handle no supplies except text-books.
The announcement was made at tho
uegiBirars omce, nowover, that u
stock of other supplies would be pur
chased, tho probably not at tho begin
ning of the school year. This question
will bo an important factor in deter-,
mining the future of tho book stores.
