S. Harris, head of remedy company, addressed the members und ineidently sub scribed $5,000 ns-a starter- of the proposed fund with which to found the college chair. Mr. Harris urged that a million dollar fund be raised in the inter ests of the proposed school of shav ing, hair cutting and cure of bald heads. He said, inhis address, "there is no excuse for bald heads. Scientific training, such as a chair in the university would give, would prevent it. Barbering is a craft and should be uplifted. The title of doctor of dermistry or dermitist would not be strange. A dean of dermistry is not improbable." Mr. Harris sugested that the pro posed course include anatomy, his tology, bacteriology, as well as shav ing, hair cutting and kindred bar ber practices. . If such a chair is founded we may, in the course of time, hear a new college yell, and we suggest that "Hair tonic, dandruff, Dermistee, we're the boys from the' Lincoln Lee" be adopted j Instead of a state license stuck on . the mirror in front of a barber : chair, we soon may expect to view j an engrossed sheepskin denoting that j the whisker-puller operating on our faces carries a degree "D.
