The following is his statement: "The Summer School, which has here- tofore been conducted by permission of the board under a voluntary organiza- tion of such members of the literary and law faculties as chose to teach, was during the past year, so far as the lit- erary and engineering departments were concerned, placed on a different- basis. The board assumed the direct charge of the school, and appointed the instructors. This action was taken at the request of the literary faculty. The pecuniary risk, if any, was thus as- suned by the board. Some advantages tere gained by thi schange, and tse fees received ecrrded by a small uss the expense incurred. The number in attendance was as follows: Literary and Engineering Departments, 221; Lawt Department, 45; total, 266. Of the 45 in the Law Department 27 have remained to take up the regular work. "The Summer School seeems to have become a necessary adjunct to most of the principal colleges and universitis and to many normal schools. It is chief- i1 resorted to by teachers who wish to prepare themselves for some speia work, though the collegiate and normal students furnish a considerable contin- gent. Of its utility, both to those who attend thetm, and to the institutions that maintan them, there can be no doubt. The summer vacation of school and college in this country, is so long that one half of it can e given to study by many teachers without serious harm. Access to college libraries, and to laboratories, when the best methods of teaching are found, and association with inspiring teachers for a few weeks, refresh and stimulate them and prepare them to return to their work with new seal and with etter outit for their duties. On the other hand the college makes a distinct gain by establishing during this summer residence of teach- ers a closer relation with them and by making apparent to them the advan- tages which their pupils may find in entering on - collegiate work. Every- thing which draws our schools and University closer to each other, and enables each to gain a better under- standing of the other, is a positive ad- vantage to education in general.I therefore deem it wise for the board to do whatever is practicable to promote the interest of our Summer School. A subject which deserves careful consid- eration is whether we can not safely make some reduction in the fees. The sum now added is rather a heavy tax on many teachers, who receive only very modest salaries. There is good reason to believe that a reduction of one-third in the fees would so largely increase our numbers that possibly our total receipts would not be diminished. If this should prove to be the fact, we should be making the school much more useful by a wider diffusion of its ble logs. As our aim is to reach and help ac many as possible by the school, I trust the board may give careful con- sideration to the question whether the fees may sot be safely reduced. But this result should nut be saught by any to take part in the instruction. In that case, a larger number of graduate students would probably attend thc summer session. The large attendance of braduates at the summer term of the universities, which induce their leading professors to teach in them, indicates a real demand on their part for such instruction.' Secret Practice Itor Wisconsin. Yesterday the 'Varsity began its secret practice in preparation for the W'isconsin game. A stiff practice was gone through with, the men developing very much faster play than that displayed the day before. The coac-es declared themselves pretty well satis- fled. Snow was not out. The forward.0 were the same as they were the day b fore except center, which tas filled by Barcabus. Cunningham was gicvbn a rest as were also McLean, Street and Deena. The whole right end of the line nuts seems to be fixed, with Seig- mund, Steckle, and Snow when he gets back in the game. In the absence of France, Wilson will undoubtedly re- main at left guard. Left tackle and end remain still in doubt. Hugh White is again beginning to show good form ct left guard and fills it better than he does end. Weeks and Sweeley played the halves yesterday. Richardson yes- terday played full back and proved a good man in the place. He gives prom- ise of better stork there than the others who have been tried lately. Practice will be see!tet from now on. That Junior Class Election. The Daily has thoroughly investigat- ed the junior class election about whic "A Leader" complained in Monday's Clarence -Eddt in an Orgqan Recital Fridaq. For many years Clarence Eddy has been the acknowledged chief among American organists. By his brilliant and wonderfully successful concert work in Europe in recent years he has established himself pre-eminently among the organ virtuosos of the world. His work in this country is far too well known to require any comment here, his every appearance having add- ed to the high fqcler in which he was already universally held. In Europe he has not only been enthusiastically wel- comed and applauded by the public, but has gained the friendly recognition of the greatest composers and interpretero of organ music. He is one of the few who have been able to withstand severe European criticism. After a most try- ing ordeal he remains a favorite among the people of Europe. Of Mr. Eddy's playing no more need he said than is cntained in this testimonial, given him by the great master Haupt at the end of his studies with him: "In organ playing the performances of Mr. Edcy are worthy to be designated as eminent, and he is undoubtedly the peer of the greatest living organists." A remarkable letter from Rome, Italy. to New York "Musical Courier": No foreign artist who has visited Rome since I came to reside in the Eternal City has raised such a furore of admiration as Mr. Clarence Eddy raised with his superb organ recital at Santa Cecilia. There is admiration (or so-called admiration) and admiration but this is the genuine article.
