You discover a Frosh when a xliuid voit-e « iieries, Where is xhe-er- Library? You find ihe Library- when von follow the croyrd. For all conrses lead to it. But your idesi of the inside of this gray striKUire may merely be a dtisiy rolame, an nnieiding study chair, and a weary spine. There is mnch more to this great, silent building than the reserve de k which keeps the books which somebody else has out. the stact room groaning with magazines, the balcony settees where Cnpid holds forth in low giggles and sj eaking eyes, the smdents tmnsferins kiu«w!e«lge from note- book to mind. A Librarv School, one which, siinv i ' . ' i , mis ;iu vnised degrees of liachelor of Library Economy, for those willing to jjay five years instead of the customary four yestrs of eoll p work, is flourishing here under the direction of William Elmer Henry. Formerly the student majoring in Library took three years of academic work and oue yesir of Library. In due process of time and exams she (it is narely hei received a Liberal Arts Degree. Now the Graduate School makes it iM»ssible for a graduate of any acvi lited i .»llese to obtain a B. of I- E. after oue year of Library wurk. Next year, due to the change from the combined course of four years to the Graduate Schix l, requiring five years, few will receive diplomas from the S -hool of Libntry. On an araag twelve leave Mr. Heniy- ' s kindly protection for the world every June, and there is always a position open for them. P.?t 23

' lii ' « i College Of Pharmacy I ' ll ' III. . ' llllrk OX Jiilv ioih ol ' ihi.s 3ear the College of rhaimacy celebrates its L ' Gth birthday. The pill rollers ' have a bit of interesting history in back of their beginning. In 1893 the first movement to provide the University with instruction in Pharmacy was started. On July 10, 1S94. after a gi-eat deal of red tape, the School of Pharmacy was actually installed in the University. Professor Charles Hill was appointed acting dean during the first year. Professor C. A ' . Johnson, present dean, took charge of the school in 1003. He was made dean in 1004. And with the years Dean Johnson has seen the school grow — grow from an enrollment of 27 students to 124. the present enrollment. Working faith- fully in the Chemistry Building, dubbed the Chem Shack, these students experiment, turning out all kinds of interesting lotions aTid medicines. In close cooperation with Dean Johnson are !Miss Edith llindman and Professor Arthur W. Linton. Miss llindman is instructor in Pharmacy and assistant state chemist and bacteriologist. In 1009 the legislature of the state created the position of state chemist at the University and made the dean of the College of Pharmacy ex-officion state chemist. Since June 1. 1900, 11,211 samples of various materials, submitted by the state officials, have been examined in the pharmacy laboratory. ' isitors to the camjuis exclaim over the large field of medicinal plants which are set out. The garden is under the supervision of the College of Pharmacy. The area and scope of the garden have been gradually extended, until the college now has a very complete collection of medicinal plants. The Bureau of Plant Industry of the Ignited States Department of Agri- culture has detailed a specialist in scientific drug cultivation to be stationed at the college to manage and supervise the garden.

College Of Mines OTPORTlTNITIElS in llic fields ul ' luiiiiiio-, nietallurji ' .v. and cerauiies in the Paeiiic Nortlnxe.st and the North are so varied that a broad I raining is needed to fit one to take advantage of them. The conrses d ilic College of Mines have been adjnstod from time to time for the purjiose of athijiting them to the special needs of this territory. The headings or cnrriciila under which the conrses are gronped are: Mining Engineering, (Jeologv and iMining. Metallnrgy. Coal Alining, Electrometallurgy, Ceramics. The field of metal mining naturally attracts the mcst attention in the Northwest and, because of this fact, the majority of students in the College elect the courses which deal with the mining, metallnrgical, and geological phases of the industry. Coalmining engineering has not attracted many students, but it is expected that the growing importance of this industry in Alaska. P.ritish Cohnnbia. asliiiigt on, and Oregon will open out a larger field for the technically trained man. Ceramic engineer- ing, the engineering of the clay and cement industries, is a comparatively recent aihlition to the work of the University and one which is ex])ected to draw attention to develoitment possibilities of clay resources of the Coast. The future e.vpansion of the mining industry into the Orient and South America as soui-ces of raw material for the basic industries of the world, is attracting the keen attention of loresighted leaders everywhere. The strategic ' location of the College of .Mines gives it a jiosition of mnch omise in ])lacing its graduates in the jiionecr woik of o]iening the future mineral resources of the undevelojied countries which border the I ' acific.
