ERAL MATTERS
FORESTRY DEPT. ABOLISHED
Department of Poultry and College of
Pharmacy Are Added Title
of Head Dean Is
Abolished
ThA Board of Regents met last
wi and made a number of import-
mt changes such as establishing a
Department of. Poultry and a College
of pharmacy, doing away wfth the
title Head Dean and abolishing the
Department of' Forestry.
The Department of Poultry will, of
course, be located at the State Farm.
This department was thought neces
rv because of the amount of poul
try now raised in Nebraska, "the an
nual crop amounting, to millions of dol
lars. Plans are already being made
(or the new department and instruc
tion will start in the fall.
Dr. Lyman was authorized to de
Teloap plans for the organization of a
College of Pharmacy and was made
dean of the same. This new college
will conduct the function of the Jun
ior College of Medicine, which was
abolished, and will also give work in
the allied branches of medicine, such
as dentistry. (Assistant Dean Wblcott
was relieved of further work with the
medical students, in order that he
may give his entire time to the De
partment of Zoology.
. The title of Head Dean of the Uni
Tersity, especially created In honor of
Dean Bessey, was abolished. Profes
sor Pool was made acting head of the
Department of Botany and provision
for an assistant professor was made.
The University Campus Extension
Committee has purchased and paid
for thirty-four lots out of the eighty
tha must be secured before the six
blocks are entirely owned by the
state. The total price paid was $175,
825. Perhaps the most important
matter which was acted upon by the
Regents was .the abolishing of the
Forestry Department.
The Board received the resignation
of Professor Morrill of the Depart
ment of Forestry, to take effect at the
pleasure of the Board. The Board
Toted to accept Professor Mdrrill's
resignation, to take effect Apgust 31,

Looking For a Bargain
The ticket agent at the Grand Cen
tral Station says that the other day a
typical East Side Hebrew stepped up
to the window and said, "Meester, I
vant a ticket by Springfield."
"Which Springfield," asked the
ticket seller, "Springfield, Illinois;
Springfield, Ohio, or Springpeld, Mas
sachusetts?" "Vlch is the cheapest, meester?"
asked the traveler in reply.

The 1915- Cornhusker is out.
After several months of watchful
waiting the students have been given
what is generally conceded to be the
best annual ever put out by the Uni
versity. The promise of the manage
ment relative to an "early book"
has been fulfilled, aa the 'Husker is at
least 25 days ahead of the usual
schedule.
The book Is entirely a Nebraska
product. All the plates were made in
Omaha and the press work was done
in Lincoln. It is dedicated to Dean
W. G. Hastings of the College of Law,
and each volume has as its
frontispiece a photograph of this dis
tinguished jurist.
As a work of art the 1915 Cornhusk
er is far above the average. It does
not suffer when compared with the
best annuals of the country; it is one

dark, red leather, durable and neat.

Ball Game
With a score of 19-12 the Junior

four-inning game at the Junior-Senior
picnic at the State Farm, Saturday

served in the cafeteria of the Home
Economics building.

warmed up the picnicers for the races
which followed. The Seniors took
first place in the potato race, girls' re
lay, and couple race. Spencer, 16,
won from, Sjogren, '15, and Florence
Simmons, '15, from Lauretta Lord, '16,
in the individual races.
With spirited rooting from the side

teams were picked from those attend

acted as scorer and Eva Fisk as urn
pire, the feminine baseball players
knocked home-runs and ran bases with
ease and abandon. Genevieve Lowry-
Marle Clark was the Senior battery
Lucile Leyda and Camille Leyda
Ruth Sheldon, the Junior.
Two special cars filled with sing
ing and cheering students carried the
revellers to and from the scene of
action of the picnic which Dean Gra
ham declared to be the best event the
Juniors had given this year. The class
hopes, because of its success, to make
this affair an annual because the two
upper classes can become better ac

credit for the success of the picnic is
due Darrell Lane, '16, who managed
