011e,of,the important functions of a
modern University is research work,
that is,, the extension of the bounds

necessary' training ,and ability,' In the

You are well, aware that the in-
structional.worlc' of -the University ',is
carried on in three faculties, namely,
Arts, Medicine . and -Public Health.
There are five affiliated colleges, i.e.;
one Anglican; one Lutheran, two, Ro-
man Catholic and one Unit ed Church.
The University is in 1-n 'way respdn-
sible'for the maint4nance or financial
support"of its ,affiliated institutions.
In, the Faculty of Arts students are
given a general education ,and are.

`which has made remarkable: advances_
in reeent years .and in'Avhich to -day
there 'is a special demuaind for the
highest standard of training.. The
Faculty of Medicine in this Univer-
sity has pursued the policy,of limit-
ing its' student body to the number
that can be provided for by;he clin-
ical material ,avails}bla. Tho results
of this policy have been -seen 'in the
success which hit's attended the grad -

The"first named gives excellent sat-
isfnction, when used at the rate of 1
pint of commercial', formalin to 121/s
gallons .of water, The tubers are
dipped in this- solution; for talo, min -
ides when the temperature is held at
118-124 degrees F. This is a ,eonven

potatoes are to be treated., An accur-

It is often convenient to haul the
potatoes to a nearby creamery where

e' Organie mercury echnnounds have.
Finch to'recommend them as seed pot-

improved each year and it is expected
that their- use will render seed treat-

The corrosive sublimate method
consists in soaking -the seed potatoes

4 ounces' of corrosive sublinieate in:'25
gallons of water. One-half an ounce
of the chemical is, added after each
treytmert of 11/2 hours. Inve

demonstrated that the solution is in-
