PARLETTE. R a l ph Parlette, who will speak in the armory Friday evening seems to be much in demand on the lecture platform this season, and this num ber promises to be one of the most pleasant. T he price of single ad mission is 35 cents. Parlette has the following to say concerning a new lecture which he is preparing, and which he hopes will make him famous: " T he crying need of the Ameri can platform is a lecture that will please everybody w ho hears it. To long-felt want I am now fill this in my own private having built factory a lecture with every possible objectionable feature carefully elim inated. Several million people have come to me the past few years with advice about making lectures, and I have embodied all their generous suggestions in the building of this lyceum architectural triumph. " It will be a howling success. Only union labor will be employed in its construction. But if anybody objects, I shall run open shop. T he lecture will be built entirely of American raw material or exclu sively of imported stock, just as you prefer. All ideas will be sterilized and all words soaked in antiseptics. I have employed William Shakes peare to lay the f mndation, and Car the rie Nation to decorate it. All world's literati will contribute. lecture " P. S. — Owing to strikes in the Shakespeare department and other unavoidable hitches, the is not quite done, and it may be a hun dred years or so before the last nail will be driven, but wait for the new lecture built on everybody's advice to please everybodv. Don't go elsewhere to be swindled — come to me." R. p. It is very gratifying to know that the rules and regulations in force at institution concerning young this women are almost identical with those recommended by the deans of women in our state institutions. " T he following statements em the body the general sentiment of Council of Deans and Advisers of W o m en in State Universities on certain of the subjects .discussed by them at their meeting in Chicago, in December, 1905. " 1. In all co-educational institutions some system of unification of women stu dents is absolutely necessary. " 2. It was unanimously agreed that pri vate houses in which women students lodge should be supervised personally by the Dean of Women or an officer of the university, and that only such houses be placed on the approved list as rent no rooms to men stu dents, and furnish a reception room on the first floor. ' ' 3. It was unanimously agreed that physical training should be required of all women students for at least one year, and the majority of the conference were opposed to inter-collegiate or public athletic contests for women. "4. The conference was unanimous in its opinion that all social functions, with per haps two receptions—the Junior and Senior class parties—should close not later than 12 p. m. In general, it was thought that the number of social functions is too large. " 5. If there be sororities, a large number of chapters in each University is to be rec- commended. Excessive rushing and the increased scale of expenditure were unre servedly condemned. ." 6. The work of the Y. W. C. A. is of great value to the University and helpful to the deans and advisers of women. " 7. The conference was practically unan imous in opposing segregation in the class room. "8. The conference was practically un animous on the advisability of having halls for women students, and the concensus of these opinion was for practical reasons should be of moderate size; that is, to ac comodate about sixty students." " A nd yet is a great forestry course as is proved by the success of those who have completed it and are already located in enviable posi tions. Again it is immensely popu lar with the undergraduates and the changes from other courses to for estry are frequent. three years of its existence at the univer sity the number of students has steadily increased and under the able the instruction of Prof. T o w e r, of Yale Forestry school a bright future is in store for this line of modern engineering." the In My Dear sir : T he last mail has brought me a for I remarkably attractive calendar 1906 of my Alma Mater and hasten to thank you for it.
