Who is now chancellor of the University. He has recently stated that the De Panw estate has paid to us over 3S100,000 in the last three years, and We will get b14200,000 more. We have secured from other friends over 2t200,000 within the last three years. We begin at once to erect a build- ing that will cost perhaps 350,000 for the chemical and physical labora- tories. One friend has given 325,000 cash toward the erection of this building. The outlook for De .Pauw was never brighter. lVithin the last two years, repairs on the college buildings have been made at the cost of several hundred dollars. Among these are the che111ical labora- tory, and some of the lecture rooms in East College, the gymnasium in West College, and a large library reading-room which has been fitted up over the assembly room in West College. But this tide of prosperity is not sweeping our institution away from her high standards of studentship, and of social life. This year she has taken steps toward raising and strengthening these standards by enforcing the rules against dancing, and by instituting a plan for the investigation of the character of the work done by each student in his daily recitations. Some changes have been made in the faculty Within the last two years. Mr. Frank Tilden has been appointed head of the department of English literature, a position held for several years by Prof. W'. E. Smyser, who is now professor of English literature in Ohio Wesleyan University. Hebrew and Biblical literature are now taught by Mr. A.. A. Trever, the successor of Prof. F. S. Ditto, who is now a missionary in India. The department of physical education and hygiene, which was instituted last year, is under the direction of Prof. H. J. Mcllntire. These and the other departments of the University have been given special attention. in the proper place in this work, and consequently require no further coininent here. - With these statements and explanations, we present this book for your consideration. We trust that its better features will receive your conunendation, and that its faults will be kindly overlooked.
