University of Chicago.

The University of Chicago is taking advantage of the closing of the Fair in securing many fine exhibits from the mining building for its miacralofical collection, located in the Warker museum. Thirty-three exhibitors in the mining building have already offered their exhibits to the university. The exhibit of the Standard Oil Co., valued at $50,000 has been given them. This, however, may be housed in the proposed Columbian Museum, but the university will exercise certain control over it. The establishment of the Columbian museum is looked upon with considerable interest by the authorities of the university, as it will be of incalculable advantage to them.
