To Complete The Gymnasium

Regents Barbour and Cocker, Dean Knowlton and Prof. Mechem returned from the East last week. Their mission was a twofold one, consisting of an investigation of the eastern university law schools and gymnasiums. , The insütutions visited included Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Boston University, and the Columbia, Chase and Metropolitan law schools. They were everywhere received with the highest consideration, and found that our law school is held in high regard throughout the East. Their investigations have shown them that no material changes will be necessary in this department, although an extensión of the course from two to three years is contemplated. The case system is used almost exclusively in the East, and the trip may result in an increase of work in that line. Although we have 200 more students than any of the eastern legal institutions, our faculty is only one half, and the good work done is only possible through the lecture system. They also found that physical culture received the highest consideraron at the eastern univérsities. All are enthusiastic over the work done in the gymnasiums. The result will be a recommendation by Regents Barbour and Cocker for the immediate completion of the gym. and the employment of a physical director. Six hundred lockers will be put in for the present, and the fittings and apparatus will be superior to Cornell and fully equal to Harvard. There is every probability that everything will be in place and ready for use at the opening of the University in the fall.
