Secretary Wade is extremely busy with the repairs at the University. Every effort will be made to have the buildings in a presentable condition when the scientists come.

Secretary Wade proposes to commence work on the chemical laboratory soon. The trimmings are to be stained a brown stone color and the body of the brick work will be painted and lined like brick.

The Evening News last night had a story that Judge Cooley was to be appointed to fill the shoes of both Prof. Adams and Judge Campbell. While such an appointment would be extremely beneficial to the University, there is not the slightest probability that it will be made, as the judge could hardly accept. He has freed himself from his duties on the bench and in the University in order to engage in more congenial work. He might accept temporarily until the regents could fill the place satisfactorily, but nothing more.
