difficult to say whether debate or football commands the more undivided and enthusiastic support of the student body. 'ln the year IQO3 football relations between the Agricultural College and the University were suspended owing to conditions for which doubtless neither side was wholly to blame and neither wholly blameless. These relations were happily renewed in 1904 and in the two games played between the Agricultural College and the University, o11e at Fargo and the other at Grand lforks, the University was in both instances victorious. llasketball has been well supported at the Linivcrsity. During each of the two yea.rs past our girls' team has won the championship of the state. The men's basketball team was organized at the beginning of the present school year and has been but twice defeated, both times by the team representing the Agricultural College. The glee and mandolin clubs have been well supported during the past two years and have each year made a successful concert trip during the Easter vaca- tion. During the present school year the Trustees voted S3500 toward the equipment of a University band with the result that a band has been started here and is now in a flourishing condition. At the close of the last school year the conduct of the Student magazine was entrusted to the senior class and during the present year the STUDENT has appeared as a weekly instead of a monthly publication. W'hile there has not been a marked increase in the enrollment as a whole, there has been a notable increase in the membership of all the upper classes, particularly in the college department. The last graduating class numbered fifty-two members as against thirty-three for the year before. The present graduating class will number nearly or quite sixty members. This brief summary of the happenings of the last two years, while it has no great events to relate, indicates a condition of sustained and healthy growth in all departments of the institution.

NVith the beginning of the next school year there will be opened a College of Medicine with a course of study extending over two years. For the present and for some years to come, the University cannot hope to be able to maintain more than the first two years of a good medical course. Much work already done in our departments of biology and chemistry will be incorporated into the curriculum of the College of Medicine so that the creation of the new college will not add greatly to the cost of maintaining the institution nor make a large demand upon our teaching force. The work in anatomy and physiology in the medical school will be under the charge of Dr. Archie l.. McDonald, a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts in the class of I9oI and a graduate of the johns Hopkins Medical School in the class of 1905. lt is expected that the new school will be able to com- mand the services as lecturers of a number of the practicing physicians of Grand Forks. VVith the organization of the College of Medicine the outlines of the University will be practically completed. Its work henceforth will be to erect a substantial superstructure upon the foundations now for the first time completed. The recent legislature has dealt with the University in a fairly generous way. The bills appropriating 368,000 for the payment of our debts and 310,000 for the purchase of the Cochrane library have been signed by the Governor and are now laws. It was hoped that the Governor would see his way clear to sign the bill appropriating 35,000 annually for the maintenance of a bacteriological laboratory in connection with the new school of medicine and the bill appropriating 330,000 for an admin- istration building and gymnasium. We shall now have to wait two years for the new laboratory and the new gymnasium, but the fact that both bills passed both houses and would doubtless have been signed by the Governor but for the great excess of appropriations over the estimated income of the state for the next two years, indicates a spirit of willingness on the part of the state to make generous provision for the needs of the University. The University is yearly growing in popular favor with the general diffusion of its graduates and former students throughout the state and it is going to be henceforth an easier matter to secure needed legislation in behalf of the University than it has been heretofore. It is said that there were more University graduates at Bismarck this winter in various official positions than there were of the graduates of all the other state institutions combined. This fact alone is most reassuring to those who have fought the battles of the University during the last twenty years, oftentimes under circumstances of the greatest discouragement. This ar-ticle would not be complete without a brief mention in closing of the victories of the University in the forum and on the gridiron. The University was successful in its debating contest with the University of South Dakota at Vermillion in 1903 and again in its contest with the University of Manitoba in IQO4. Debate was never more flourishing at the University than at the present time and it is 13
