(See belowpp. 220-222).THE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION DIVISION,During the year just closing the University Extension Division has witnessed a growth commensuratewith the developments of the University. BetweenOctober 1, 1896 and July 1, 1897, 141 courses of sixlecture-studies each have been delivered to 29,344people in 95 different centres in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. Ofthese courses, 56 were delivered in Chicago in 31 different centres.In the Correspondence-study Department 672 Individual students have been enrolled, representingnearly every state in the Union, and a number of foreign countries.Over 1500 students have been enrolled in the Class-study Department in the city of Chicago, and its immediate suburbs. Plans are already inaugurated forgreatly increasing the work of the University Extension Division during the coming year.THE UNIVERSITY AFFILIATIONS,The University has cause for satisfaction in themutual advantages which the relations of cooperationand affiliation have brought to the schools and to theUniversity. There are at present in attendance in theUniversity, students from 30 out of 47 schools whichare cooperating, and students from each of the affiliated schools and colleges.During the past year there have been In attendance at the University from the affiliated institutions*95 students, and from the cooperating schools, 272There are 12 institutions sustaining the relation ofaffiliation with the University, and 47 having the relation of cooperation. Since the last quarterly state-220 UNIVERSITY RECORDmen t there have been added to the latter list, OakPark High School, Austin High School, EvanstonHigh School, Leavenworth, Kan., High School, GirlsHigh School of Louisville, Ky., and Hosmer Hall, St.Louis, Mo. When we consider that the relation ofcooperation has been established with many of theseschools for less than one year we have every reasonto be gratified with the results. The interest of theschools is manifested in the increasing number ofexaminations sent to the University.THE BRADLEY POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.The Bradley Polytechnic Institute has been organized and its faculty has been selected. The buildingswhich are of the same kind of stone and the samestyle of architecture as the University buildings, arealready far advanced and work will begin October 1.THE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.The arrangements have finally been completed inaccordance with which the Chicago Manual TrainingSchool has been transferred to a Board of Trusteesmade up of members of the Board of Trustees of theUniversity. The work of the Manual Training Schoolnow comes into vital relationship with that of theUniversity. It will sustain the same relation to theUniversity as that sustained by the Bradley Polytechnic Institute and its work for the present will bepractically along the same lines. During the pastyear 250 students have pursued their work in theTraining School and of these 35 were graduated atthe recent closing exercises.THE MORGAN PARK ACADEMY.During the year a new building for boys has beenerected at the Academy. The cost is $30,000; thebuilding will be ready for occupancy in the autumn.THE HULL BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES.It is with pleasure that we announce the practicalcompletion of the biological laboratories. ,The contracts were let in June 1896, and with the exception ofa few minor fittings the buildings are today finished.Tomorrow the formal opening of these buildings willtake place. We have today as our guests many representatives of the department of biology from oursister institutions. They have come to rejoice with usupon an occasion which is of interest not only to theUniversity of Chicago, but to all institutions of learning ; not only to the comparatively few students who,in the coming years, shall be permitted to do work inthe laboratories, but also to the thousands and tens ofthousands who, let us hope, will be benefited by the investigations which will here be made. The addressof dedication will be made by Professor William Welchof Johns Hopkins University on " Biology and Medicine." Members of the University and friends of theUniversity are cordially invited to be present.THE ALUMNI.It is pleasing also to observe that a larger numberthan ever before of the alumni of the old University,old and new, have gathered together in connectionwith this convocation. We forget that we are a younginstitution when we see before us a group of men who,twenty-nve years ago, received their bachelor's degreefrom the old University of Chicago, and who, in thesetwenty -five years, have done valiant service in variousfields of labor. We welcome the class of '72 to thehalls of the new University. We realize that they findhere little or nothing- that reminds them of the days ofold, but they cannot fail to remember that after allthe spirit of the old times has come down, and is largelyinfluencing the spirit of the new times. We havealmost forgotten that there was a period of five yearsbetween the end of the old and the beginning of thenew. We are rapidly losing sight of the fact thatthere is an old and a new. The University of todayfeels stronger and more mature because it may countamong its children men whose life work has given evidence of the training received in days long past.Annual Report of the Library and of the Division ofPhysical Culture and Athletics, 1896-97.The Library.library gifts and purchases.Accession Report from July 1, 1896 to June 15, 1897.During the year ending Jane 15, 1897, there has beenadded to the Library of the University a totalnumber of 10,717 books from the following sources :Books added by purchase, 7383 vols., distributed asfollows :General Library, 763 vols.; Philosophy, 268 vols.;Pedagogy, 216 vols.; Political Economy, 587 vols.;Political Science, 184 vols.; History, 515 vols.; Classical Archaeology, 19 vols.; Sociology, 258 vols.; Sociology (Folk Psychology), 38 vols.; Sociology (Divinity),352 vols.; Anthropology, 9 vols.; Comparative Religion,41 vols.; Semitic, 111 vols.; New Testament, 52 vols.;Comparative Philology, 100 vols.; Greek, 257 vols.,Latin, 496 vols.; Latin and Greek, 38 vols.; Romance,76 vols.; German, 226 vols.; English, 739 vols.; MatheUNIVERSITY RECORD 221matics, 158 vols.; Astronomy, 20 vols ; Physics, 53 vols.;Chemistry, 21 vols.; Geology, 228 vols.; Biology 2 vols.;Zo6!ogy, 96 vols.; Anatomy 44 vols.; Physiology, 85vols.; Neurology, 113 vols.; Palaeontology, 27 vols.;Botany* 82 vols.; Elocution, 73 vols.; Church History,145 vols.; Systematic Theology, 65 vols.; Homiletics,106 vols.; Morgan Park Academy, 442 vols.; Scandinavian Seminaries, 135 vols.; Latin, New Testament,and Church History, 30 vols.; Latin, Greek, and Clas-ical Archaeology, 1 vol.; History, Political Economy,Political Science, and Sociology, 127 vols.; Anatomy,Neurology, Palaeontology, Physiology, and Zoology,3 vols.; Physical Culture, 2 vols.Books added by gift, 2930 vols., distributed as follows:General Library, 1917 vols.; Philosophy, 1 vol.; Pedagogy, 374 vols.; Political Economy, 163 vols.; PoliticalScience, 31 vols.; History, 3 vols.; Classical Archaeology,3 vols.; Sociology, 15 vols.; Sociology (Divinity), 185vols.; Anthropology, 2 vols.; Semitic, 4 vols.; NewTestament, 2 vols.; Comparative Philology, 3 vols.;Greek, 2 vols.; Latin, 83 vols ; Latin and Greek, 8vols.; Romance, 2 vols.; English, 14 vols.; Mathematics,18 vols.; Astronomy, 15 vols.; Physics, 6 vols.; Chemistry, 2 vols.; Geology, 30 vols.; Physiology, 2 vols.;Botany, 1 vol.; Systematic Theology, 2 vols.; Homiletics, 7 vols.; Music, 1 vol ; President's Office, 34 vols.Books added by exchange for University publications, 404 vols., distributed as follows :General Library, 30 vols.; Pedagogy, 2 vols.; Political Economy, 80 vols.; Political Science, 6 vols.; Sociology, 40 vols.; Sociology (Divinity), 15 vols.; Anthropology, 1 vol.; Comparative Religion 8 vols.; Semitic,33 vols.; New Testament, 30 vols.; English, 1 vol.;Geology, 21 vols.; Botany, 4 vols.; Church History,10 vols.; Systematic Theology, 9 vols.; Homiletics, 8vols.; Morgan Park Academy, 106 vols.IMPORTANT GIFTS TO THE LIBRARY, 1896-7.Emanuel R.
