The Calendar 48Professor of Plant Physiology.Charles Reid Barnes, who has been appointed Professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Chicago, was a student under Professor Coulter atHanover College, but received his chief botanicaltraining at Harvard University, where he spent severalyears intimately associated with Dr. Asa Gray. Hehas held but two positions, one at Purdue University,Indiana, the other in the University of Wisconsin,where he has had charge of the Botany for severalyears. He has been prominent in developing theBotanical Gazette and for a number of years was itsmanaging editor. During this time he gained thereputation of being the keenest botanical critic in thecountry. He has also been prominent in organizing the Botanical Society of America, of which he hasbeen the secretary since its organization. He hasbecome the leading authority in the country on thegroup of mosses, but this has been entirely secondaryto his cultivation of Plant Physiology. In this field,while possessing great mechanical ability, his sympathies are entirely enlisted by the larger fundamentalproblems. By the botanists of the country hisacceptance of the position in Chicago has beenregarded with some surprise, but the opportunity todevelop his own special field of Botany was not to bedismissed. It is probable that very few botanists areso well and so favorably known among their colleaguesas Professor Barnes. His uncompromising stand forgood English as well as good investigation has madehim an unsparing, but friendly, critic, both of his ownstudents and in published reviews. There is everyindication that he will take strong hold of the university life. Professor Barnes' Handbook of PlantDissection and his just published Plant Life havebeen of great service in high school and collegeinstruction.Director of the University Press Division.Mr. Ned Arden Flood, of Meadville, Pennsylvania,who has recently accepted the Directorship of thePress Division of the University of Chicago, brings tothe position the well-organized results of a wide experience in the publishing business, together with a42 UNIVERSITY RECORDthorough familiarity with the technicalities of editorial work. Since his graduation from Johns Hopkins University in 1890, Mr. Flood has been an assistant editor of the staff of the Chautauquan Magazine,the official organ of the Chautauqua Reading Circle,and has also been superintendent of the firm of Flood& Vincent, publishers of the Chautauqua text-books.In addition to these regular positions, he has servedfor ten years as managing editor of the ChautauquaAssembly Herald, an eight-page daily paper publishedduring July and August at Chautauqua, N. Y. Although Mr. Flood has devoted himself chiefly to themastery of the details and general principles of printing, publishing, advertising, and editorial management he has found time for continuing his studies inEconomics and Political Science, as a result of whichhe has contributed a number of articles to the Chautauquan and other magazines, and for several yearshas given a course of lectures on Social Economicsbefore the students of Allegheny College, Meadville,Pa. The University is fortunate in securing asDirector of the Press a young, able, and energeticman who combines with technical knowledge of thebusiness side of the position a sympathy with academic life and an appreciation- of editorial problems.Official Notices.JUNIOR COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP IN CHEMISTRY.A scholarship, covering one year's tuition, isawarded each year to the student who receives thenomination of the Chemical Department for the excellence of his work in Chemistry during the Junior College course.
