Many outsiders a3 well as all stu dents are interested in the advance ment of tho university and the in structors of the university. One of the most recent advances Is that made by Dr. Hastings of tho department of physical training. Owing 10 the prog ress of the University of Nebiaska In this department while under his con trbl, and also on account of ills physi cal educational normal course which ho introduced into Nebraska, he has been culled upon to take charge gt the de partment of physical education at the Winona summer school, Lake Winona, I ml. Lake Winona is n pretty place In Indiana and has been selected lor tho situation of this unique organization of federation of colleges on account of its advantages for aquatic sports. This is called a federation of colleges be cause eighteen of its twenty-two In structors are chosen lrom the colleges of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, Nebraska and Michigan. Nebraska ranking the best in physicalu training, her instructor was chosen for the in structor at tho summer school. One of the purposes of tho department of physical training in the summer school is to provide preparation of teachers and physical directors of colleges, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. organizations for more efllclent Instruction. Dr. Hastings will Introduce courses of the ory and practice similar to thos6 used at the Harvard summer school, the Chautauqua, Boston normal and others of like character. Ho also has charge of the track, field and aquatic events. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The religious department of tho Young Men's Christian association has never been so prosperous as it is at tho present time.

Tho association work there Is doing much to bring those boys In touch with the university life. Thoy feel that they are a part of tho great state Institution. If tho attend ance of students at the state farm In creases as it now promises to do it will not be long until the Y. M. C. A. work there will be a good sized organization in itself.

Plans are al ready on foot to make It a great day in the University of Nebraska. Definite announcements will be made through these columns next week.

"The Friday Talks" are proving to' be quite a feature. The last one by Dr. Wharton was listened to by a largo number of young men. The one on tho coming Friday will be given by G. A.
