THE UNIVERSITY OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Listen, What They Had:  Four Departments, 30 Instructors, and Chapel─Room Rent for $2 a Month─Board Included Washing, Fuel and Lights─Had a Monthly Paper
"The University comprises four departments:
1.  THE ACADEMICIAL (or collegiate( affording the largest facilities for liberal culture in both letters and science.
2.  THE NORMAL, designed extensively for the education of teachers.
3.  THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW, originally the Iowa Law School, established at Des Moines, in 1865, but transferred to Iowa City and incorporated with the University in 1868. 
4.  THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE, organized in the latter part of the year 1869-70, but not set in operation until the beginning of 1870-71."
Thus with a measure of ill-concealed pride did the University of Iowa catalogue of 1871-72 set forth the advantages of this institution.  Here are some interesting facts about the University of fifty years ago:
The faculty listed contained thirty (30) names; two of them an instructor in the normal department and an assistant in mathematics were women.  Of course, all of these instructors were not on full time, as for instance Dr. Mark Ranney, who was named as "lecturer on insanity."  Dr. Ranney was then superintendent of the Iowa hospital for the insane.
The "sub-freshman" class contained the most names.  To be admitted to the University as a sub-freshman one must have been at the University Hall at eight o'clock on the [?st] Tuesday in September and have taken examinations in:  English grammar, geography, history of the United States, arithmetic, algebra, (as far as quadratics), Latin grammar and reader and two books of Caesar's Commentaries.
Concerning expenses, a fee of five dollars was charged each student for the fall, winter, and spring terms.  "Board in families, including WASHING, FUEL, and LIGHTS, from three to five dollars per week.  Board in clubs from two to three dollars.  Room rent, TWO DOLLARS PER MONTH, for unfurnished rooms.  The opportunities for self-boarding at low rates are excellent.

"PUBLIC WORKSHIP─A morning service not exceeding fifteen minutes is held on every recitation day, in the University chapel, which all students are REQUIRED to attend.  They are also expected to be present on the Sabbath, at one service at least, and at such places as their parents or guardians may designate, or as the students themselves may prefer."

And just think, folks, they didn't have any Daily Iowan.  The University Reporter, "a sixteen page monthly paper was conducted by the students, aided by contributions from the faculty and former graduates."  Connected with the University of 1871 were the "Erodelphian and Hesperian literary societies, composed of ladies; the Zetagathian and Irving Institute, formed of gentlemen; and the Bryant Literary club."
For those who could not afford to buy law text books the University had an arrangement whereby books could be rented to students for ten dollars a year.

The Medical Department requested the public to send "to the curator of museum any specimens of healthy morbid, or comparative anatomy which will be properly labeled with the name of the donor, and placed in the museum."

SORORITIES WILL MOVE
Changes will be made in the residences of a few sororities for the following year.  Alpha Chi Omega will move to 615 N. Dubuque street which is the old Aurner home.  The Gamma [?] Beta chapter will be located at [?8] N. Clinton.  Achoth sorority expects to move for next year but as yet they have not decided uuon a house. 

LECTURES ON DAYTON FLOOR
In his lecture on "The Great Engineering Project" Prof. S. M. Woodward disclosed some of the methods that are being used in the Dayton district to prevent another flood.  Speaking to engineers Thursday morning he told of the great amount of money being spent, and showed more than 50 slides to illustrate means of combatting the water.  For several years the professor was engaged by the city of Dayton in the construction of these dams.

Mrs. E. H. Barth of Greene is visiting her daughter, Ruth, senior at Currier hall.

TESTS OF MUSICAL TALENT TO BE GIVEN
A special series of courses on the psychology of musical talent will be offered by Prof. C. E. Seashore and his associates in the summer session of 1919.  The courses will include lectures with readings, outlining the psychology of music; laboratory experiments on the psychology of tonal memory and imagination, and musical feeling and action; and practical exercises for the application of these principles.
This group of courses, extending over a period of six weeks, will furnish an introduction to the professional use of mental tests by music supervisors and teachers.
These courses are open to all qualified teachers and supervisors of music, without other prerequisites, although a general knowledge of modern psychology is advantageous.  The work begins June 16.

H. S. COMMENCEMENT HELD
Ninety-five student of the Iowa City high school received their diplomas at the high school commencement exercises in natural science auditorium Thursday evening.  Prof. F. C. Ensign was the commencement speaker.  Sons and daughters of several University professors were in the graduating class.

A Good Professor's House
Yes, Yes!  But never mind that.  What we mean is that this is a good house for you, professor.  Houses are scarce in Iowa City, and more professors are building their own.  That's the only satisfactory way.  In the long run it's the cheapest too.
Remember this:  "The first step in home-building is to consult Dunlap."  Free plans and moderate prices for building materials.
