The story of formerDean James Rowland Angell, who hasrecently been elected president of YaleUniversity, and a number of illu.stra-tions of the famous old buildings ofYale prove exceedingly timely in viewof the event which has just added an¬other name to the growing list of col¬lege presidents who have come fromChicago.Other things of interest are a re¬view of the debating and athletic sea¬sons, and a continuation of the biog¬raphies of famous alumni.

Fra¬ternity men will please notify theirdelegates, as no formal notices havebeen mailed. Society has its upper “400.” TheUniversity of Chicago, being a dem¬ocratic institution, apparently isabout to enter upon 'a new orderw'herein there will be an upper “80”percent. The new regime will haveas its basis physical fitness, and-80percent is Dr, Reed’s estimate of theproportion of students w'ho shouldhave little trouble in passing, theexamination for exemptin from P. C.work follow’ing the completion of thesix quarters of required gym work.In an interview' yesterday Dr. Reed,medical examinei’ for men, permit¬ted himself a candid expression ofhi.s attitude on the pending P, C. planand on the .subiect of physical edu¬cation in general. The figure, 80percent, given out by the physical-examiner, is an estimate. Althoughadequate figures on the relative fitness of men and Avomen were notavailable, according to Dr. Reed theprobability is that percentage of menwill be higher, perhaps 85 percent,and that of w’omen somewhat low’er.Exams Not Armv TypeExaminations are not to be of thearmy type, w'here the candidates areput through their paces, but moreclosely are to approximate consulta¬tions. A satisfactory completion ofthe six majors of compulsory exer¬cise. and the presentation of a re¬spectable health, record, Dr. Reedthinks will be suffie’ent for exemp¬tion. In .suspected cases, the exam¬inee W'ill be w’eighed and if neces¬sary further inspected.The plan draw'n up by the facultycommittee meets the hearty approvalof Dr. Reed, who describes it as oneof the host ever rcommended to him.It approaches the ideal, he declares,in that it gives an opportunity forindependent recreational exercisew’ith accompanying benefits.Program Somewhat DeficientHe elaborated by saying that theI’^niversity progiam is somewhat de¬ficient in w’hat may be called purelyrecreational sports, although tennisand handball are steps in the rightdirection. He advocates more at¬tention to interfraternity athleticcompetition, and better facilities forit. Even for students below par, hedeclared the belief that such activityconsistently follow’ed could very welltake the place of supervised gymw’ork.A reasonable administration of P.C. requirements, and further atten¬tion to independent exercise, are inbrief the wish of Dr. Reed.

Within the last threeor four months 3,586 have come tohand. A rough sorting of these dis¬sertations shows a surprising numberto deal with medical subjects. Itwould appear as though a larger pro¬portion of students than formerly havesince the beginning of the war, chosenmedicine as a profe.ssion. T^aw comesnext in order, followed hy history andthe modern languages and literatures.Of the latter, English seems to be thefavorite. Early and Middle Englishtopics, authors of the Elizabethan andlater periods have in many instancesbeen made the subjects of extensivemonographs.With these consignments of theses,comes the annual and other periodicreports of the Universities. Whatstrikes one on glancing over some ofthem is the surprisingly long li.st ofnames under such heads as “Died forthe Fatherland.’’ or “Heroes who diedfor their country,” etcTaking at random one of these re¬ports, that of a small university, Kiel,for the winter half year 1914-15, wefind as follows:For the summer half year of 1914there were enrolled 1,35.5 students ofwhom 1,287 were men. At the end ofthe winter half year of 1914-15, thatis to say in the spring of 1915, therewere on leave at the front, 1,407 stu¬dents, including no doubt a large num¬ber of those matriculated for ftie win¬ter half year of 1914-15. The reportfor this last half year contains thefirst list of dead at the front. It num¬bers 86 students and four members ofthe faculty.These figures will be better appre¬ciated if it is assumed that of the 7,781students at the University of Chicagoin 1914-15, practically all the men,3,672 in number, had been called totbe colors, and after the first 8 or 9months a death list of 223 had beenreported.
