32 THE OLIU: VOL. XLVI11 Since the Lest Olio S INCE the last CDLIO appeared, the College in common with all things has undergone changes, some for the good and some for the bad. But Amherst is progressing-in this we are all agreed--and this conviction leads us to believe that the re- sultant of all the different changes is for the good. Men may come and men may go, but the College goes on forever. A few words now of the men who have come and the men who have gone, and some pardonable exultation in the College that is to go on forever. The Faculty has lost several members. Professor Neill has given up his position on account of ill health, Professor Symington has resigned and is studying law at Columbia. Professor I-lomer Smith has accepted the chair in English at Ursinus College. Professors Garman and Morse are temporarily absent, on their Sabbatical year. Professor Kimball has returned from his year of study in Europe. The course in junior Phi- losophy is under the charge of Professor Pierce, Professor of Philosophy in Smith College. The course in Senior Philosophy will be omitted this year. During the 'Winter term however, a series of lectures on the history of Philosophy will be given by Professor F. li. VVoodbridge, of the class of 1889, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University. Mr. William A, Nitze, a John Hopkins graduate, has succeeded Professor Symington as associate professor of the Romance Languages. Mr. John Erskine, a Columbia graduate, is instructor in English, Mr. Curtis l-l.Wal- ker, a Yale graduate, instructor in I-listory 9 Mr. John Corsa of the class of 1899 is instructor in Public Speaking g and Mr. Robert M. Chapin of the class of 1897 has the newly created position of instructor in Chemistry. Two Literature courses have been added, and a course in the Drama under Professor Churchill. Professor Bigelow offers a new course in Music, and Mr. Newlin, one in Mechanical Drawing and Surveying. A Fellowship in Physical Education has been established by Mrs. Lydia R. Babbott, the wife of F. L. Babbott of the class of '78. This gift was particularly acceptable as the want of such a fellowship has been
