President Eliot's Annual Report.
President Eliot of Harvard has
just made a very interesting report
as to affairs at Harvard and reviews
the record of last year and makes
many suggestions for changes.
He refers to the question of short-
ening the college course to three
years. He supports the plan by
offering figures showing that a large
number of men now complete all, or
nearly all, of the requirements in
three years necessary to receive a
bachelor's degree from the college.
In reviewing the work of the differ-
ent departments during the past year
mention is made of the revision and
raising the standard required for ad-
mission to the college and the Law-
rence Scientific Schosl. Although
it was not the intention of the faculty
to increase the amount of work
necessary, yet a very appreciable
gain in scholarship is observed in
every department.
Free Trade Essaq Competition
Open to Laws.
Word has been received from the
Free Trade League that any student
in the University not enrolled in the
"Graduate School," may compete for
the prize offered for the best essay on,
"Whom Does Protection Protect."
This decision will increase the inter-
est in the contest inasmuch as it
throws the competition open to mem-
bers of the Law Department.
Harry Lovell, '99, has completed
his college course and left Friday for
his home in Flint where he will re-
main for several days. He has
secured an excellent position with a
large life insurance company in New
York City and starts work there im-
mediately. He intends to remove
there with his wife and family and
will make his home in Brooklyn.
"Dutch" Ferbert has been called
home on account of the serious ill.
ness of his sister. As she is ill with
typhoid fever it is improbable that
he will be able to return for some
time.
Ralph V. Magoffin, '01, who went
with Co. A, 31st Michigan last
spring has returned to resume his
studies this semester.
Prof. B. A. Hinsdale, of the Peda-
gogical Department of the Univer.
sity, gave an address at an educa-
tirrual meeting at Ihpemng, Jat.
27. His subject was "The Age of
Schools."
Miss Jennie P. White, '97, who
since graduating has been teaching
English in the Elgin high school,
has been obliged by ill health to give
up her position and return to her
home in Peoria, Ill.
Prof. Bradley M. Thompson, of
the Law Department, will give an
address on early English farming on
Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Calhoun
County Farmers' Institute, to be
held at Marshall.
Arrangements are now being made
to hold in University Hall a memo-
rial meeting in honor of Judge T.
M. Cooley and Prof. E. L. Walter.
Addresses will be given by Mr. C. A.
Kent and Prof. Hudson. The date
of the meeting is Sunday, Feb. 26.
