The List Of the Faculty, Which May bt

Icreosed-Prof. Folaoell's Vie,us.
The faculty for the coming year has
been definitely determined upon, and
! there are two or three quite important
changes. 1t has been settled thaI Prof.
POWELL, who acted as President last
year, will take the chair of Political
Science; and the Chair Of English Lan-
guage and Literature, LETT vacant by
the death of Prof. Maj ston, will lie per-
manently filed by Prof. Edwin Nc
Lean, WHO was engaged for some weeks
for the same duties during the latter
part Of the last year. The late accept
ance Of Prof. .. J. Breda, of the chair
of the Latin language, makes, the list
OF the faculty complete. Prof. Dreda
has had charge Of the department of
! the Scandinavian Languages aud Lit
erature for some time. He is an &C
complisled linguist, and 4 scholar of
marked ability. He is said to be famil.
lar with ut least seven different Ian
guages, and has a more or less extended
knowledge of others, including the dead
languages. His acceptance Of the chair
of Latin is looked upon as an addition
to the strength Of the University fac
ulty. Aside from his duties as teacher,
Prof. Folwell is also to have full charge
of the library, and in this work will
have one or two assistants. There is a
possibility Of the addition to the fac.
ulty of
| A MILITARY INSTRUCTOR,
and a naval officer; the former to take
charge Of the military drill, and the
latter to act lis instructor in naval and
steam engineering. 1t is said that Il
military officer has already been detail
ed for work here, though his name hi,s
not been made known. BY the law, !.
limited number of such instructors may
be sent out to institutions similar in
scope and character to the University
here. The entire country is divided in
to districts, according to the popula-
ton, and one allowed to each district.
There are but eighteen or twenty of
these DISTRICTS, and for this reason it
was thought that it might be impossible
to obtain one for Minnesota. The dis
trict in which Minnesota is, includes
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. As men,
toned above, there is a report that
such an officer is detailed for this dis
trict, and that the application of the
Minnesota State University had receiv-
ed favorable action by the authorities.
There is possibility, only. of the ap-
pOintment of the Naval Engineer, as
nothing definite has been done in this
direction. other than discuss the matter.
The curriculum for the next year will
be somewhat changed from last year,
though no important ones have been
made since the last catalogue was
issued. There will probably be some
changes of greater or less Importance
made at the opening Of the term, when
the entire faculty hold an important
meeting. The full list of the faculty is
as follows:

TALK WITH PROF. FOLWELL.
Prof. Folwell, who has been spending
the summer in Ohio, attending to mat
ters of business, returned to Minneapo.
lis late Saturday night. TO Tribune
reporter who called at his residence
yesterday he said, speaking of the Uni
versity: II expect a good sized class
to enter this term. though, of course,
it will be impossible to say just how
large until tile opening of the examina-
tion, the first week in September. Hard
times, as a general thing, belieye, re-
suit in filling up the colleges and uni
yersities rather than in thinning them
out. When money is easy and business
is especially active, young. men are
tempted more strongly to hurry at once
into business and the colleges are apt
to suffer. On the other hand no matter
how hard times may be, young lEen
will be able to get through a college
course jim some way or other, and the
temptations of business are not SO
great. The present condition of the
business Of the country will, / think,
be an advantage rather than otherwise
to the colleges.
"Another reason why am expecting
an increase in numbers, is that the
High School is getting to he a feeder
for the University, and larger
number Of the graduates are coming to
enter our institution. do not expect
any great increase; it would not be rea
sonable, for the institution is too young
and we cannot expect the thousand
students that older institutions have,
still, with the changes that have been
made and the added strength in the
faculty, it is only reasonable to expect a
general tOning up OH all sides. "-Minn.
eapolis Tribune, Aug. 81.
ANOTHER PARSONS.
Dickinson county, Iowa, appears to
have another Tom Parsons. The Jour-
nal Of last week says:
There is some one, and we believe We
can put our finger upon him., who is
taking good deal of pains to misrep-
resent our town and county. to stran-
gers. IN plain English, he lies about
both. Asserts that our land il DOOR.
