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.
