At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition this summer, Purdue will be represented by an elaborate exhibit in the Palace of Education. A booth has been fitted up with cabinets containing exhibits of the work of each of the departments, University publications, drawings, plates, etc. The booth is ornamented with a frieze consisting of enlarged photographs of the campus, buildings, military, athletic and local views. In addition to this exhibit. Purdue will contribute to the State educational exhibit, and also to the collective exhibit of the Land Grant Colleges. For the latter Congress has appropriated $100,000, the exhibit being in the hands of a committee of which Dr. Stone is a member. Purdue is still further interested in the Exposition in that Professor Goldsborough is Chief of the Electrical Department. The history of the year would not be complete without some mention of the plans for Gala Week, at the close of the school year. Heretofore the closing week of school has not been marked by anything out of the ordinary other than the Commencement Exercises. It is now planned to devote the time from Friday, June 3, to Wednesday, the 8th, to merry-making, athletic contests, social events, and other exercises, concluding with the Commencement Exercises. It is hoped that this will prove an occasion of such interest as to draw many visitors from the alumni and friends of members of the University. A committee, consisting of representatives of all the classes and of the faculty, has the arrangements in charge. We have chronicled the events of a prosperous, eventful year at Purdue, marred only by the one sad event which we can never forget. The Class of 1904, as it leaves the University, e.xtends its best wishes and hope that the future of Purdue may be one of success and prosperity.
