All correspondence with reference to admission to any College or ,School of this University should be addressed to the appropriate Dean. ON the third day of June, 1884, in accordance with the notice given in the last issue of the YEAR Boolc, the University Convocation was formally organized. At the ensuing annual meeting of the Corporation in January, it was duly admitted to participation in the government of the University, according to the provisions of the statutes. The next annual meeting of the Convocation will beheld in Jacob Sleeper Hall, on Convocation Day, Tuesday, June 2, at one o'clock in the afternoon. A few weeks ago, The Century Magazine completed the publica- tion of an interesting series of illustrated articles entitled On the Track of Ulysses. In them the author, Mr. W. J. Stillman of New York, gives the results obtained by observation and local studies in con- nection witha recent visit to some of the more important of the points on the Mediterranean coasts traditionally associated with the story of the Odyssey.

Now, however, we have among us a nascent party whose spokesmen seem intent on persuading the col- leges to subordinate the Man to his work. Apparently they are deter- mined to inaugurate a system which, in precise proportion to its success, is certain to turn out mere calculists, or chemists, or physicists, or physi- ologists,'0r psychologists, or publicists, or Germanists, or Gallicists, or Latinists, with here and there perhaps an equally specialized Hellcnist, but with never a whole rounded man among them all. And, strange to say, a chief contention appears to be that these products of a narrow and special training shall have, at the end, not a degree honestly and truthfully describing their attainments, but the one only title which the
