that siXteen students shall be provided for and those students taking the full course in Domestic Arts and Science will have the preference. For this term a short course of tvventy lessons has been provided and Will be open to such special students as may elect it. The short course in dairying is one of practical instruction in modern methods of dairy and creameryiwork, supplemented by as much theoretical Work as may be found necessary, it being our aim to prepare those completing this course for practical Work in this line. To those vvho complete the course and pass all the required examinations in a satisfactory manner, a certincate will be issued setting forth the Work completed and the quality ofthe same. Instruction begins February ISt, and Will continue eight weeks. SCHEDULE OF THE COURSE:-Chemistry of dairying, 20 lectures, Laboratory Work in dairy chemistry, I6 periods, Practical butter and cheese making, 32 periods, Animal nutrition, IO lectures, Feeding dairy stock, 5 lectures, Diseases of Domestic Animals QVeterinary sciencej, 20 lectures, Steam boiler and engine, 5. lectures, Blacksmithing and fitting, IO periods, Creamery accounts and cal- culations, 5 lectures. The Short Course in Agriculture Will, We hope, in some measure meet the needs of those vvho are able to give but little time to obtaining an education, but Who can and would like to devote two months, during the winter season, to the pursuit of practical Work along lines which Will be of great benefit in the every-day life on the ranch. These courses are open to anyone who may desire to enter. They are for the farmer and the farmer's son alike. The fact that a man is a little along in years need not prevent him from taking these courses if' he so desires. Instruction begins February I, and continues until March 2o. HATCH s'rA'r1oN. SCHEDULE OF THE COURSE:-Practical agriculture, 25 lectures, Chemistry, 2o lec- tures, Irrigation engineering, 25 lectures, Veterinary science, 20 lectures. Total, go lectures during the Hrst five weeks of' the course. Botany and horticulture, IO lectures, Entomology, IO lectures, Book-keeping, 6 lectures, Iron work, IO exercises.

Buildings. The building formerly occupied by the members of the United States Agricultural Experiment Station Staff was burned on Sunday, August 26th, IQOO. It has been rebuilt and refitted to serve as a mining laboratory,and it is now occupied by the professors in charge of the departments of Mining and of Geology, of Metallurgy, Surveying and Mining Engineering. The building formerly known as the Mining Building has been refitted, equipped with a new steam-heating plant and will be used hereafter as quarters by a part of the Staff of the Experiment Station. Professor McDowell and Dr. Kennedy will have rooms upon the first floor and Professors Doten and Frandsen on the second Hoor. 1 The President's house is built in the colonial style of architecture and stands at the south-east corner of the grounds. It is a modern building of twelve rooms, with hot water heater and electric lights, for the accommodation of the in I President and his family. It is a decided addition to the architecture of the University buildings. Its windows afford a pleasing View of the town of Reno and the adjacent valley. V The Chemical building, for which an appropriation of twelve thousand dollars has just . gzglvg g been made by the State Legislature will be built in a style of architecture nearly like the Me- ' -... chanical building. It will stand almost on a line between Stewart and Lincoln Hall. On the first floor will be the qualitative chemistry laboratory, with accommodations for seventy r, 't,'.'ss ssr. . students, and the quantitative chemistry laboratory, with accommodations for forty students, a T - - - -1' t store room for chemicals, and in the annex at the rear, a lecture room accommodating one hundred and fifty students. This lecture room will be built on the amphitheater style, VV1tl'1 operator's desk, equipment for experiments and arrangement for stereoptican views. It will PRESIDEN'r's COTTAGE. be the most modern of all class-rooms upon the grounds. The second floor will be the laboratory for the chemical department of the United States Experiment Station, with laboratory for general study, dairy room, grinding and crushing room, dark room for photographic purposes, and general store-room. This building will be of great value in the future development of the University. Its needs has been felt for a number of years and it will relieve the over-crowding that is now going on in other buildings. I9
