SProyross of the Cottoyo t HE growth of the college this year has been one of steady advancement, unmarked by any particularly striking events. The long-contemplated new courses were put in operation at the beginning of the fall term. The Freshman class was, as expected, small, but the Preparatory division was gratifyingly large. In scholarship the students have made a better record than ever before. With the Freshmen of next year we hope the college will enter upon an era of large classes. There have been a number of changes in the Faculty. Miss Bosworth has been pursuing studies in Germany, and her place has been filled by Miss Smith, Wellesley, ’90. Mr. M. H. Tyler, Amherst, ’97, has been made proctor and instructor in mathematics. Mr. J. S. Allen, Jr., Brown, ’98, has been appointed instructor in history and political science. Mr. Frank Craig, Worcester Poly- technic Institute, ’98, succeeded Mr. Clark as assistant in mechan- ics. Mr. Barlow, University of Vermont, and Mr. Marshall, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ’97, have been assistants in Dr. Field’s department. Mr. Barlow left the college to accept a position in Kansas University. Mr. Card, Cornell, ’92, began his work here this year- as professor of horticulture. Since the building of E ' ppitt Hall, the various departments have enjoyed increased facilities for their work, and that crowded, cramped condition, so well remembe red by the older students, is a thing of the past. A new barn has been added to the equipment of the agricultural department, greatly increasing its facilities for instruction, and making it possible to furnish the dairy products necessary at the boarding hall. It is a handsome structure and well adapted for its purpose. At the beginning of the year a Committee on College Activi- ties, modelled after the now defunct Amherst Senate, was placed
