THAT MUCH IS NOW OPEN TO UNDERGRADUATES. Some New Courses Introduced by Prof. Scott-Innovations Last Year gWere a Success and Will Be Con- tinued., Within the last few years the courses in rhetoric and composition have been reorganized and the numbers tnureas- ed. in the announcement for 1895-06 appear ten courses, eight of which are for undergraduates. Considering the smallness of the number of those who teach- these subjects and thegreatness of the number of those who elect the courses, this is a remarkable showing. Several innovations made last year by Prof. Scott have been sucessful in, practice, and will be retained, for the future. In particular, the new arrangement of Course 2, adopted last semester, has been found especially advantageous. By this arrangement a student who has had Course 2 one semester may re-elect it as a two-hour course the following semester, the work of the two semesters being dif- ferent. Last year over a fourth of the first semester's class continued their work through the second semester. Two new courses have been added. Course 1, offered this semester, is called exercises in translation. It gives the student who is familiar with French and German an opportunity to improve his English by translating brief selections from French and Ger- man literature. The method to be employed is somewhat novel, being based upon a study of the French and the German paragraph. Course 15, Principles of Style, will this year be followed in the second semester by Course 1a. The first semester's work will be in the i-rose of the 17th end 18th centuries; the second semester's in the prose of the 19th century. The addition of new courses makes it possible for a student to pursue studies in rhetoric and composition throughout the four years of his col- lege life. In order to do this, if le takes but one course each semester he should elect courses 1 and la in his first year, courses 2 and 2a in is sec- ond year, courses 1 and i1a in his junior year, courses 1 and 18 in his senior year. - For graduate students there is a seminary in the History of Rhetorical Theory, which is carried pn throughout the year- E.

A good sized crowd were out yes- terday afternoon to see the first line- up of the candidates for this year's eleven. After a little preliminary prac- tice the two teams lined up for prac- tice. Yale, a new ina, was put in for center on the 'Varsity, with Henninger and Raikes as guards. Richards and Holmes were both tried at quarter- back, and Gates, Rice, Ferbert, Freund and Richards took their turns at the halves. Villa and Yont played the tackles; and Senter and Hutchinson the ends. Le Roy was at full back. The work showed the training which the team has had this season, but there was considerable fumbling and raw playing. The main trouble was in the slowness with which the ball was gotten into play, it being often fumbled after it had been snapped back in good form. Holmes is quick and is making a good showing for quarter. Richards' also did some good work at both quar ter and half. Forbert plays his half in good chaps. Raikes made.a good showing at guard, and Hooper will be here today as another candidate for the position. Carr will also try for it in case l1e does not make center. Myers, the new candidate for center, will also be out today. Le Roy played full back in good shape and punted well. Villa and Yont have a good chance of "holding their positions as tackles, although Hadden may be back later in the season. The second eleven also showed up well and although they -were lacking in weight, they tackled in good form and developed some ex- cellent material. A meeting of all candidates was held at 7 o'clock last 1 NUMBERS NOT GIVEN OUT. IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE AT- TENDANCE FOR YEAR YET. Pres. Angell Tells a Daily Repre- sentative of the Enrollment-New Diploma Schools and Late Open- Ing Make It Less. As usual at the beginning of the University year, all sorts of rumors are in circulation as to the enrollment, estimated attendance, etc. This year it is being reported that the enrollment for the past few days has fallen far short of that at the same time In pre- vious years, thus making it appear that the outlook for attendance is not what could be wished. When questioned as to the above re- port by a representative of the Daily yesterday, President AngelI said: "It is absolutely impossible at this time of year to form any trustworthy estimate of the attendance for the year. We always refuse - to give the exact numbers enrolled in the various departments until several weeks after the beginning of the year; for, If we should give them out this early, they would be sent all over the country as our final figures for the year. "You may say in general, however, that up to this morning the enroll- ment has fallen somewhat short of that at the same time in previous years. This is giving us no alarm, however, as it is explainable on sev- eral grounds. In the first place there aere a number of important additions made last year to the list of schools whose students are admitted on di- plomas and consequently there is a smaller number coming early to take the examinations. "Then, too, the University opens Tuesday this year instead of Mone.iy, as is usual, and the new students en- tering on diploma and old students are returning one day later than us- msl. If you will look into Room A, you will see how they are crowding in with their credentials." Bible Institute Begins Sunday.
