One hundred and sixty-two semesters of work wer completed in the modern languages, while but forty semesters wer taken in the ancient languages. The combined totals of fysics, chem- istry and biology wer but slightly in excess of several special subjects, as education, mathematics, psycology and sociology, while English outdru the three sciences. Twenty-six of the thirtyethree took no college work in the decl languages, while every one took at least one semester of a modern language, tho five took les than two years work in them. Every one took two semesters of English, while all but three took more than one year. Ten took no college mathematics, three took no psy- cology, twelv no education, three no sociology, four no sciences, and nine no history. The matter of the most and least valuable, the hardest and easiest courses brought forth varied replies. Four and a half votes each wer given to sociology and education as the most valuable, four to English and biology, and two and a half to psycology. Six thought history the least valuable, Eve math- ematics, while two each said education, German and French. Nine voted mathematics the hardest subject, four voted for German, two and a half for psycology, and two each for chem- istry and hlosofy.

Two thought there was a danger of over-spe- Cialization, while two thought college life should not be compul- sory. One thought natural science should be made compul- sory, and another said the course should not be a prerequisit for fysics, chemistry and biology. The other two favord re- quired psycology and filosofy respectivly. Twenty-four considerd the working of the honor system satisfactory, while eight wer somewhat doutful. Several sug- gestions for improvement wer made. Some thought the stu- dents should take more personal responsibility, while some thought it was not emfasized on freshmen enuf by upperclas- men. One would not call it a system. The chapel servises wer considerd a success by twenty-two, while ten considerd them a partial or complete failure. Many suggestions for improving the servises and attendance wer re- ceivd. Several thought the subjects of talks might be made more interesting, some by having best speakers often and some by having all faculty members with the same regularity. To hav more outside speakers was suggested as a means of improve- ment. More and better music would please three or four of the students, while several thought more pressure should be brought to bear on the delinquent students. For favorit Chapel speakers, Professor Coleman was indorst by twenty-flve, eleven voted for Dr. Foster, ten for Professor Hammond, nine for Dr. Rowland, eight for Dr. Morgan, seven for Dr. Compton, and four each for Dr. Torrey and Dr. Grifhn. ere
