with the exception of a sweet society reporter and her assistant. And the women pnt it over, too, for the entire staff on the first semester ' s Daily was composed of their sex, with the exception of one man, Loren Milliman, a frosh wlio stnck by the ship in that sea of femininity. Too mnch credit can not be awarded Florence Logan, the first woman editor of the Daily in tlie history of the University of Washington, who has the distinction of piloting the official A. S. r. W. publication through a most successful career in a period of strife anil unrest. With tlie second quarter came the stronger sex to rule. Frank Davies, as editor of the Daily, rearranged the editorial office into a typical metropolitan news room. The staff was departmentalized to a greater extent than ever before in the history of the Daily, and each head was given a desk. Davies first published a morning Daily, and would have pursued this policy had not tliis plan been rendered infeasible by conditions in the mechanical department. The journalism quarters never cease to be a popular rendezvous of the campus. Besides the never ending string of students looking for copies of the Daily, seeking information, and craving publicity, many come to gossip or read Jane, the newsy bulletin board, of which the postoffice department has proved a popular feature. A consideration of the School of Journalism would be incomplete with- out mention of the library and file room. In the former, the latest books relative to the pi-ofession are to be found, and in the file room are copies of the leading publications of the state and nation. The faculty includes Miss Grace Edgington, Fred Kennedy, Frederick A. Russell, Frank Goss and Colin V. Dyment. who will again be active in the department in the fall quarter. College Of Business Administration THE College of Husiness Administration is a professioiuil school which aims to train its students to meet the problems of modern industry. With the return of many men from active service, the registration increased from 1: 9 in the first quarter to 391 in the second and 421 in the third quarters. Tiiis reflects the great interest in the study of modern business problems, organization, and management. To meet these needs and to furtlier expand the activity of the School of Business Administration, ten faculty men will teach a total of 110 courses throughout the coming college year. The creation of the Bureau of Advisory Boards has been started with the organization of the Foreign Trade Board and the llerchaut Marine Board. Each board will consist of fifteen leading men of the state, who will co-operate with the faculty in making tiie courses meet actual business needs and in acquainting the students with community leaders and their views and to bi-ing about a greater spirit of co-operation. Arrangements are mider Avay

It was evident, too, that the College of Science must have a home. While niniuTous eolleges were being created, students were also increasing and this department was receiving its full share. In 1907 Science Hall was l)iiilt. a icd brick building located south of Denny Hall. At intervals since then it lias been retouched with coats of gray paint. The war took large numbers of students, and faculty, too, hut it stiiiiul:itiil thought aud action along scientific lines. It quickened researcii woi ' k, a)id investigations in new fields have been carried on extensively. One of the innovations that it has brought to the campus was the nursing course. Next year the college will take on a normal aspect, aud with a complete faculty and a larger enrollment it will continue to hold its place as one of the foi ' cmost colleges of the University. School Of Journalism IT was something of a magic touch, the transformation around the journalism abode at the beginning of the second college quarter. With the signing of the armistice, those who were at their studies and those who were eating their chow from army mess halls saw visions of the old gang back at the Daily shack. Memories of the good times in the old tumble-doAvn shelter known as the Education building never left the scribes, and a sort of call-of-the-North feeling brought many back to their alma mater. A new building welcomed those who had been fighting with the colors and some- what of a uew atmosphere prevailed. The spacious quarters of the School of Journal- ism exceeded all expectations, a trip through Pa Kennedy ' s shop assured them of the com- pleteness and modernity of the new plant, and a sprinkling of old faces and words of welcome soon made the newcomers feel at home. Of course, one of the first features that captivated the returning student was the omnipresence of the feminine sex. Women at the typewriters, at the desk, and even in the composing room. I nbelievable. to those who remembered when a female around tiie editor ' s desk was uniicard of. FJiitrnnrc to th

This plan provides for a system of grades and promotions and bases the wage on the cost of living.
