Wm. Schneirla Takes
Spin in Airplane and
Declares It Delightful
San Diego Bulan.
Dbg teams recently trot too slow for
William Schneirla. of Opbir, Alaska,
so he "hit the trail” for sunny San
Diego to take a spin in an airplane.
This he accomplished yesterday at the
foot'of Broadway, and his one regret,
he announced last night, is that he
can’t take an airship back to frigid
Alaska with him.
To reach San Diego, Schneirla had
to ride nine days over frozen wastes be
hind a team of dogs be tore he could
make railroad connections. The rest
of the trip was easy.
Sf-hncirla is a mining man. Ke has
been in Alaska about fifteen years, and
bad heard all about airplanes, but had
never before encountered one. While
in San Diego he is the guest of his
brother-in law. Charles P. Terry. 714

' Al a ska’s New Uni
versity, Fairbanks,
Opens in September
Charles E. Bunnell, dean of the fac
ulty and president of the Ataoka Agri
cultural College and School of Mint s,
is in Seattle seeking members for tbe
faculty for the-Alaska College which
1 will be opened at Fairbanks next Sep
! tember.
The neA\ institution will be support
ed mainly by the Territory, but $50,000
of Federal money will be available an
nually under the provisions of the Nel
i son act. Preliminary building work
; iias been done with funds appropriated
by ihe Territorial Legislature. The
administration building was recently
| completed.
Four courses of regular college work
will be offered the first year. These
will be an agricultural course, a gen
eral science course, a home economics
course’ and a mining course. In addi
tion to these regular courses there will
be a short course in mining, lasting
about sixteen weeks of each year. This
course will probably begin in Novem
ber of this year and will extend over a
ntr'.ud of two years. The course will
be designed for the practical require
ments of the paosjxctor. It will in
clude geology, mineralogy, blowpipe
analysis, etc. The requirements for
entrance to the regular courses, aside
from the special mining course, will be
those required for matriculation in any
college. The college will* employ a
teaching staff of about five instructors
besides President Eucneil.
The college campus is abo rt . four
miles from Fairbanks on a tract of land
set aside by Congress in 1815. It is on
the main line of the Goiernment rail
road from Seward to Fairbanks. The
Territorial Legislature established the
college in 1917 and granted it a charier
empowering the Governor to appoint
trustees. At that session $60,000 was
appropriated to build aDd buv equip
ment. but the sum proved inadequate.
In 1921 an additional appropriation of
$11,000 was made.
The trustees of the institution are A.
J. Nordale, J. A# McIntosh, Mrs. L C.
Hess, M. D. Snodgrass, P. J. Rickert.
Morton E. Stevens, Robert Bloom and
