AT the sixth annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION, held in Washington city in
1889, President Charles X. Adams of
Cornell rendered IL high compliment to
his predecessor by IL simple statement Of
the admitted facts that down to 1857 the
study of history in colleges was no more
than n dry and formal textbook affair
and that in go years thereafter il took
high rank among the independent
courses.
In October, 1867. the students at Ann
Arbor, Mich, were surprised ana not a
little amused to see seated among the
professors q very young and fair gentle
man of strikingly modest micn whom
one of them had just addressed on the
campus with the current satirical cues
tlons: Going TO enter freshman, ell?
Classical? Well, look out for old Boise
Greek profcssorl! He's your toughest
pill"
1t was the new professor of history and
literature, Andrew Dickson White, who
had been graduated from Yale in 1858,
had passed three years in Europe, first ut
I'arlS and Berlin rs ii sLudent, and then
AT st. Petersburg as an attachc of the
American legation, and had then dcvot-
ed % Year at Yale to historical studies.
He was even then but % years old and
so very youthful looking that The sophie
more who "chaffed' him declared that
he took him TO he III or thcrcabouts."
In five years lie had made history the
favoritc study IN the University of Mich.
gan.
About 1870 all the colleges seemed
moved with q desire to raise history to a
higher rank in their curricula, aud in
1881 Cornell for the first time gave the
entire service of one professor to that
subject, Professor Moses Colt Tyler being
tho man. AT Cambridge seven profess
ors and teachers are now employed. and
eighteen courses are offered; at Yale two
or three professors are engaged in this
work and at Cornell four. At Johns
Hopkins different system was adopted
the plan being to encourage independent
work. Finally, in 1854 the present as
eociation was organized, and its progress
has been phenomenally rapid.
DR.. James Burrill Angel president of
the association, also president of Michi-
gan university, was born i'll Scituate.
r. L., Jan. 2, 1927, and was graduated
from Brown university i'll 1850. Since
that date he has divided his time almost
equally between university work and the
life OF literary man and il diplomatist.

Increased Interest In the Study of History
In American Schools and Colleges and
Improved Methods of Teaching-The In
fuenco of Professor White.
Authors and readers alike look eagerly
for the reports of the July conventions
at Chicago, whittier writers, librarians,
philologists and dabblers i'll folklore are
now taking their course from all parts
of the civilized world. Naturally Amer
leans will be most numerous, and of
gatherings which may be called exclu-
sively American by far the most impor-
tant and interesting will be the ninth
annual meeting of the American Histor-
ical association.
No other organization has gained in
general interest moro rapidly than this
has i'll its nine years of existence, and lit
tie wonder, as its membership comprises
such men as DR.. Andrew D. White, for
merly of Cornell; James b. Angel of

Charles X. Adams, Hon. George Bouri-
not. Hon. John Jay and many others
scarcely inferior in reputation, the total
making nearly ZOO of the most thorough

DR.. White is probably entitled to the
