U ic 2 ears Jftistory. (£lx LTHOUGH there have been no striking occurrences at the l=!-a College during the year, there have bee n some improve- J ' v ments and changes, and, as in former years, a steady ad- vancement. A new and successful feature was the summer school, introduced for the purpose of instructing teachers of the State in Nature studies. The fall term opened with about the usual num- ber of new students, though few of these joined the Freshman class. The two years Preparatory course began with this term, and through the preliminary work accomplished there, the College standard is being raised. The classes in general have done very satisfactory work, although during the Winter term there was more absence on account of illness than has ever occurred before. The Faculty remains about the same as last year. Miss Putnam, however, resigned her position as teacher of Expression and Eng- lish last June. She has been much missed by all, as she had been a part of the College for several years. Miss Sanborn filled her place during the Fall term, but in the Winter the course of Ex- pression was omitted, and the English classes taken by Miss Eliza- beth Kenyon, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College and a student of Brown University. Miss Brooks, our first instructor in steno- graphy and typewriting, having laid a foundation in those branches at the College, left us; and her successor, Miss Grace Hazelwood, has faithfully directed the work in that line since. Miss Bos- worth, who spent last year in Europe, returned with a Doctor’s degree, and as Professor of Mathematics, resumed her former du- ties, which had been carried on during her absence by Miss Smith.
