in size, 3820 in 1921, 5483 in 1937. But the quality has distinctly and steadily improved. Students are better equipped and more serious in their work. And this is true in every school of the University. Far and away the most important factors in the University ' s development have been the distinguished persons brought into the faculties, sometimes to organize wholly new work, as in the case of Government, International Relations, the Department of Drama and the Institute of Human Relations. Space permits me to name only a few of the men of professorial rank; but when one recalls the conspicuous men already on the staff in 1 92 1 and the extremely promising group of brilliant younger men who have been ap- pointed in recent years, the quality of the Yale faculty is convincingly obvious. Let me mention then the following: In History and Classics, Rostovtzeff and Good- enough; in Philosophy, Urban; in Mathematics, Ore and Hille; in Electrical Engineer- ing, Doherty; in Geology, Warren; in Anthropology, Sapir and Wissler; in Psychology, Dodge, Hull, Miles, Robinson and Yerkes; in Semitics and Oriental Studies, Goetze, Edgerton and Obermann; in Physics, Swann and McKeehan; in Chemistry, Anderson and Harned; in English, Pottle and Young; in French, Feuillerat; in German, Prokosch and Weigand; in Government, Coker; in International Relations, Spykman, Howland, and Wolfers; in Diplomatic History, Dunn; in American History, Bemis and Phillips; in English History, Notestein; in Economics, Hastings, J. H. Rogers, Sa.xon and Smith; in Transportation, Daniels and Boardman; in Zoology, Nicholas; in Physiological Sciences, Dusser de Barenne, Fulton, and Long; in Education, Hill, May, and Loram; in Forestry, Graves and Boyce; in Fine Arts, Aubert, Baker, Focillon, Nicoll, Savage, Sizer and Tuttle; in Religion, Burrows and Calhoun; in Nursing, Miss Goodrich and Miss Taylor; in Law, Arnold, Douglas, Hicks, Rogers, Steffens, Sturges; in Anatomy, Allen; in Bacteriology, Bayne-Jones; in Medicine, Blake and Peters; in Surgery, Gush- ing; in Psychiatry, Kahn; in Pediatrics, Powers. It should be added that not all the per- sons mentioned are still in active service. In every school of the University new and more effective curricula, better organiza- tion and better methods of teaching have been in process of development. There has also been developing a new and stimulating sense of institutional solidarity, and de- partments and schools cooperate with one another far more successfully than was formerly the case. There has thus been a real integration of the University in progress. Undoubtedly the creation of the residential Colleges has been the most dramatic occur- rence of the period and, as time goes on, it may well prove to hav e been the most im- portant. There has certainly been a distinct growth of interest in research and creative work of all kinds. More men are, I think, ambitious to excel in this direction and I know that the scholarly productivity has markedly increased. Much larger numbers than formerly of mature scholars from all over the world have been attracted to work here in our Graduate and professional schools. I feel sure too that there has been an increase of appreciation for stimulating teaching. Students and faculty alike have become more critical and more demanding on this score. This fact has in turn resulted in rather more severe requirements from students and the abler undergraduates now go out with intellectual accomplishments substantially a year in advance of those which were common not long since. Although there is perhaps little material change in the overt interest of students in religion, I am sure that, as compared with the post-war period, there is a more serious and more widely disseminated concern for fundamental ethical and spiritual problems, just as there is conspicuously more interest in economic and social issues. I leave the University with the feeling that, while it has grave problems to face, it is in a condition of amazing vitaHty and that, under my friend President-elect Seymour, it will go steadily forward to ever new heights of invaluable service to mankind.
