:langing the university entrance re-

r of these letters is to the effect that
e scope of the list of units possible

aould be greatly increased. It is said
.at the best interests of those who
to

Prominent Faculty Members May As-

Plans are under way to organize a'
University of Michigan Wilson club,
and in all probability a meeting will
be held Tuesday, January 9, for the
purpose of effecting an organization.
H. J. Abbott, registrar of deeds of
Washtenaw county has the matter in
charge, and such prominent members
of the university faculty as Deans
Vaughan and Cooley, and Professors
Bunker and Bogle may take active
charge of the work.
Covernor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, will deliver an address in Ann
Arbor January 19, and preparations
are being made to entertain him dur-
ing his stay. He will arrive via Mich-
igan Central from Detroit at 9:19 a.
m. and will deliver his speech in the
Whitney theater at 11. A luncheon
will be ser:ed in his honor at the city
Y. M. C. A. at 12:15.
FORMER PROFESSOR'S LETTERS
AND DIARIES ARE PUBLISHED.
A new book containing selections
from letters and diaries of Moses Coit
Tyler, a former professor of this uni-
versity, has just been received at 'the
office of the alumni association. Pro-
fessor Tyler was professor of language
and literature from 1874 to 1881 when
he resigned to accept a chair in Amer--
ican History at Cornell university
where he remained until his death in
1900.
esity admit unconditionally any grad-
uate of any four-year high school,
provided the quality of its teaching
and work is approved by the univer-
sity, and provided that such graduate
shall be certified by his principal or
superintendent as being qualified to
pursue the first-year work of the uni-
versity.
"Respectfully submitted, Wales C
Martindale, superintendent of schools;
Benjamin F. Comfort, principal Cass
Technical high school; David MacKen-
zie, principal Central high school; Ed-
win L. Miller, assistant principal
Central high school; J. Remsen Bish-
op, principal Eastern high school; Wil-
liam L~ihtbody, principal Higgins high
school; Frank Cody, principal Mc-
Millan high school and William A.
Morse, principal Western high school."
Though considerable changes are ex-
pected to be made by the committee
nothing like such sweeping action as
this will be taken. The number of
absolutely required subjects for en-
trance will be lessened in all proba-'
bility, and the list of optional offer-
ings appreciably increased, but the
university is not likely to take a step
such as that advised.

partment and Dr. A. F. Shull of the Bi-
ology department were called to
