Dean VVilkins has introduced special orien- tation courses for Freshmen and Sophomores, and he is now working on plans for Honor Courses and other types of independent study in the Junior and Senior years.

Trustees and Faculties who had known and labored with Harper, Judson, and Burton, had realized that a time must come when a President must be sought from the outside , but everyone had looked forward to that event with more or less anxiety. Would it be possible to find a man who could and would have sympathetic understanding of the University's approved ideals and traditions, and at the same time bring to his oliice a thoroughly progressive policy? That question has beenianswered to the complete satisfaction of Trustees, Faculties, Alumni, students, and the general public. The Committee of the Board of Trustees based their appointment of Dr. Mason upon the following considerations: 'LI-Ie has a distinguished record as a scientist and teacher which will command the coniidence of the faculty and the respect of the community, he is a man of strong character and high ideals who will give vigorous moral leadership, he has unusual human qualities and breadth of view and a deep interest in the develop- ment of the student into a person of character and usefulness to society, he will enlist the interest and receive the cordial support of the students and the alumni, he will, we believe, through his intellectual alertness and broad human sympathies be able to secure the interest and cooperation of leaders of thought in the city of Chicago and elsewhere? Events have confirmed these prophetic judgments of the Board of Trustees.
