J India Bound Bronze Turkeys Arrive at Destination Safely A trip more than half way around the world to India has been completed by a pair of bronze tur keys raised at the college of agri culture. A letter announcing the arrival of these birds was received by Prof. F. E. Mussehi, chairman of the poultry department. The turkeys arrived in good con' dition, considering the length of the voyage, the letter reads. J. J DeValois, of Katpadi, North Arcot South India, was the purchaser of tne pair of bronzes. Mr. DeValois, in his letter, ex pressed surprise in receiving the American birds. He stated that he bad canceled the order in a pre vious letter because of a plague that was spreading through India ana wnich was killing off all fowl All danger of the plague is now over, however. It required eight weeks to ship these turkeys to India, the voyage being 13,000 miles. A cage was constructed for them, measuring four feet in width and six feet in length.

TO CONDUCT CLASSES Prof. Vittorio Macchioro. visit ing professor who will instruct University of Nebraska classes next semester, is endorsed by Chancellor E. A. Burnett, Dean J. D. Hicks, Dr. C. H. Oldfather, and Dr. E. L. Hinman. Speaking of Prof. Macchioro, Chancellor Burnett pointed out that the University of Nebraska was fortunate in securing him and that his coming would be consid ered a compliment to this institu tion. "Professor Macchioro's classes are made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Foundation," the chancellor said. Should Be Proud. "Although there may have been a geographical consideration which might have affected the founda tion's decision to send Macchioro to this school we should certainly be proud that we were selected. His courses will furnish an oppor tunity for first-hand acquaintance with the Italian type of educa tion." The courses which Professor Macchioro will give are, according to Dean J. D. Hicks of the college of arts and sciences, of a general nature shuch as would appeal to students other than those who are in the department of philosophy. Credits from these courses will ap ply toward the requirement in either philosophy, history, or the classics. Show Foreign Instruction. ,Dr. C. H. Oldfather, chairman of the department of history, believes that Professor Macchioro's courses should be valuable and interesting since they will show the method of instruction used in foreign uni versities. . "In fact," Dr. Oldfather re marked, "students will virtually have a chance to attend a class in a foreign university, right here at nome. Dr. E. L. Hinman, chairman of the department of philosophy, also acclaims Professor Macchioro and he too believes that the courses will be valuable because they offer first-hand contact with early Greek and Roman religions taught by a European who understands them. First Visitor for Time. It is the first time in a number of years that the university has had a visiting professor, and Pro fessor Macchioro is the first one to visit it from Europe. He was formerly connected with the Uni versity of Naples but during the past two years he has taught at the University of Chicajro, Colum bia university, and the University of Virginia, respectively. Previous to Professor Macchioro the last visiting professor was S, G. Joshi, a philosopher from India. He was an exchange professor and wben he came nere Prof. P. M. Buck of this institution was sent to Joshi's country to each. Campus Calendar Tuesday. Scandinavian club, 7:30, Temple 305. Kosmet Klub, 5 o'clock, club rooms.

"He wanted to see it grown up and properly intro duced in society before he went out. That's why he consented to a second term. "It is up to us to see that the legislature gives us the appropria tions that the regents have recom mended, not only for the medical school, but also for the whole state university in this session. Even if the legislature followed Governor Weaver's outgoing suggestions and cut off nearly a million dollars from the requested total for the next two years, there wouldn't be a man in this room who coulud tell the difference in his taxes. "We must urge the legislature to vote so strongly that even if economy should get the better of our new governor, he would hesi tate to veto the program."

DEADLINE FOR PLAQU Foster Sees No Reason Why Girls Should Not Take Law; Might Be Wasted Time for Those Who Wed 'The law college is a perfectly sane institution. so i know no reason why girls shouldn't take law."' H. H. Foster, dean of the law college said when asktd if he favored girls entering the law course. "Naturally, it might be considered a waste of time in that many of the best trained women lawyers never use their law education, but get married." As an example of girls whohaveO graduated from tbe law college and been successful in that type of work, Dean Foster told of Zanzie Hill, a negro girl who graduated two years ago who is probably the only negro woman to come from a law school in the association of American law schools. Miss Hill is now in Hot Springs, Ark., where she is junior council for the Wood man of Union Insurance company, the lr.rtf.t negro fraternal iiisur ance company in existence. Successful in New York. Another successful woman graduate from the law college is Emmeline E.

Lillian Margolin, '26. is the only woman to nave graduated from the law college with a cum la ide degree, an honor which Is given to the highest percent of the class. The majority of women lawyers find it difficult to engage in gen eral law practice, because most people prefer men lawyers.
