The university seismograph was moved this week to its new quarters in the vault built especially for it in the north basement of Fraser Hall…. F. E. Bryant, assistant professor of English at the University, is suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. The professor was able to meet his classes until just a few days ago when he was compelled to remain confined to his room. Prof. Bryant returned from his vacation in the east recently, and it is believed he contracted the disease there…. Measles Epidemic Faces Haskell: Coach Caldwell is already in the hospital with a slight attack of the disease, and Oghalala, his premier player, is suffering from the same trouble. In what manner the measles crept into the football squad is a mystery. Every precaution is being taken to prevent its spread through the entire institution…. ‘A bull-fight is good, but it isn’t in the same class with a baseball game,’ said S. R. Hubbard, who has recently returned from a 3-weeks visit in Mexico City, says the Ottawa Republic…. Tom Murphy, the barker accompanying the fair concessions who sold a pint of booze to a deputy sheriff, received a sixty days jail sentence for his lack of discernment.”
