The History of the Year.
The history of the college during the
past year has been one of uninterrupted
prosperity. The Walker Art building,
the gift of the Misses Walker of Wal
than, Mass, is fast nearing completion.
| Alterations and improvements made from
time to time have delayed its completion
and have added considerably to the orig
| inal cost. The building will probably
| cost between $125,000 and $150,0O0
The Searles Scientific building has been
started and will be finished next April.
Its cost will be $4,000 or more, and it
will be among the best buildings of it's
kind in the country.
| The lawsuit over the Garcelon bequest
| is still in progress in the California
| courts and Bowdoin's chances of getting
nearly the entire bequest seem excellent.
| Changes will be made in the library
| during the summer, in order to accom-
| hn AMIR lx ir,or &c
| volumes.
In his annual report, President Hyde
notes many needed improvements, the
foremost of which is estimated at about
| $4,000. He also points out the need of
a new professorship in history, and an
increased endowment of several profess
sorships. Professor D. g. Wells, who
has occupied the chair Of history and
political science, has resigned, and will
occupy the same position at Dartmouth.
Professor Macdonald, of the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute, will succeed him.
Professor F. F, ,Farnswo1th has had
charge of the German department for
the past year, and next year will go to
Williams. He has taken the place of
| Professor G. T. Files, who is on two
| years leave of absence in Germany.
The class of '93 entered Bowdoin with
between 80 and so men, but the usual
thinning out processes have left the class
| at graduation with only 80 members.
However, it is regarded as the most
united class Bowdoin has had for some
time. 1t contains several scholars of
remarkable ability, who are to continue
their studies abroad.
| Business of the College.
The Alumni Association held it's annual
meeting in Memorial Hall at o'clock at
