passed, and the same legislature also voted to change the name of this college from the “Maine State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts” to the “ University of Maine.” In the personnel of the faculty there have been several changes during this year. Mr. D. W. Colby, instructor in Chemistry, resigned his position in June to accept a position in the Experiment Station at Middletown, Conn. Gellert Alleman, Ph. I)., a young man of excellent education and with good qualifications as a teacher, was chosen to fill the place left vacant by Mr. Colby. Miss Harriet Converse Fernald, who for nearly eight years acted as libra- rian, resigned also in June, because of her approaching marriage, and Mr. Ralph K. Jones, an alumnus of the college, was elected librarian. With the introduction of Latin into the college curriculum, Mr. G. A. Andrews was chosen instructor. Mr. Andrews resigned his position after one term and Mr. W. S. Elden, an experienced teacher, filled the vacancy made by Mr. Andrews’ resignation. Mr. Nichols, instructor in Modern Languages, is spending the year at the University of Leipzig, for the completion of his study there, and Mr. Reginald R. Goodell, a man of liberal education, is filling the chair during the absence of Mr. Nichols. Mr. Webb is also on leave and is taking graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. It is impossible in an article of this kind to enumerate or give account of all the changes of the year, so we hasten to speak of a recent acquisition of which every student is talking. We are very proud of our new cinder-track and athletic field and are very grateful to the alumni who have aided in its com- pletion. With its advantages we shall hope to raise the standard of athletics in the college and to increase the number of victories of our teams. For the complete record of athletic events, the reader is referred to an article entitled “A Review,” farther on in this book. iS
