The divisions are in charge of heads and sub-heads of various departments of the univer- sity and include a unique and compre- hensive program of university exten- sion. The department of extension was or - ganized to meet a growing demand on the part of the state for such forms of public service as may be legiti- mately rendered by the state univer- sity. The words of the university bul- letin describe the extension service. "It is generally recognized today that the functions of a university in- clude at least three definite lines of endeavors its first duty is to teach thoroughly and well the students upon its campus; second to foster, as far as may be, the spirit of research on the part of the members of its various faculties; third, to render to the state at large such public service as may lie within its power." There is nothing new in the idea of university extensicn. For more t an a hundred years certain types of ex- tension work have been in practice in this cowltry and abroad. It is only ithn very recent times, however, thaat. university extension has begun to tale donite form and character for state andd ot1er universities as far as the content and administration of the work are concerned. In some universities the extension work 4s carried on by a special fac- ulty which is necessarily distinct from the regular teaching faculty. While the plan permits of highly specialized extension work, it is very expensive and in general fails to foster a spirit of co-operation between the faculty of the school and the extension faculty. Ather and better plan is the one Which has been adopted by this uni- vergity and which has now reached a' good degree of efficiency. This plan uses for the extension service the members of the regular faculties. 'the1 work, is divided under 10 separate1 heads, each of which is under the< jurisdiction of one of the special de- partments in the various schools and, colleges. Extension service is divided into the following extension departments:I University extension courses, libraryt extension service, department of edu-1 cation and public service, museum ex-t tension service, municipal references bureau, architecture and civic im-L provement, landscape design and civic improvement, forestry extension serv-. ice, engineering extension service, anid _ public health service.

New York, Oct. 26.--The history of football at Columbia has been varied and interesting. Ever since the Var- sity won a w6-3 verdict over Rutgers in 1870, the pigskin sport has had many hard knocks. Of course, in those days it was a very crude game. Sometimes there were ten men on the team, sometimes twenty; there were no padded uniforms, and of course no headgears. At one time in the his- tory lack of a gridiron made Colum- bia temporarily abolish the game. An- other time the game was hard hit by the faculty because they claimedthat it interfered with school work. Co- lumbia entered into the then new In- tercollegiate league in 1876 with Yale, Harvard and Princeton. The associa- tion did not, in the eyes of Columbia authorities, accomplish its aim, and in 1880 Columbia dropped out. One year later the university rejoined again, only to be forced to again drop out because of the lack of training facilities. Four of its '00 men, mem- bers of what is considered the best aggregation ever produced by Colum- bia, made the All-American.

He has beenI compelled to take this drastic meas- ure, he says, because the reports of no less than 19 automobile accidents which happened last Saturday after- noon have reached him.

Holdings of Wheat Large Chicago, Oct. 26.-Farmers' hold- ings of wheat in the west and south- west are undoubtedly the largest ever known at this season., In Kansas they hold from 60 to 80 per cent of their crop, of which 40 to 60 per cent remains unt'hreshed, and in Nebraska holdings are approximately 80 per cent. In the Northwest and Canada, howev;er, selling has been quite gen- eral and threshings are being com- pleted quickly.
