Georgetown University.

The senior class are pursuing a special
course of mechanics. and are now studying
the interesting branch OF kinetics. This
science treats of motions without concern
ing Itself with their causes. 1t is properly
an introduction TO mechanics, as involving
the mathematical principles which apply
to forces.
Among the many improvements made
during vacation was the preparation of a
special room for actual demonstration OF
this science. 1t has two sets OF shutters,
one solid, TO exclude all light, and the
other adjustable and furnished with sets
of mirrors for optical effects. This de-
partinent is under the care OF Prof. A. l..
poncison. OF the Massachusetts Techno-
logic Institute.

Howard University.

Howard University is very anxious to
regain control of the magnificent grove
of oaks lying between its lands and Freed
mans Hospital. The national Government
has now possession, and its neglect of this
beautiful tract is barbarous. An eXpendi-
ture of a very few hundred dollars would
SO improve and preserve this natural Love
liness that its possession would be a pride
and joy to the whole city. The univcr-
sity should be encouraged in its efforts to
reclaim this park. As it stands it would
enhance the college grounds, and it Is
a ma tural sanitarum for the adjacent
hospital. These hundred or So old oaks are
uDriyaled. or all the primeval forest that
once covered the site of Washington these
are the last remnant They were always
among the most noble trees OF the Dis
trict. A very slight expenditure would
again clothe the land with sward, adurn
1t with walks and preserve these ma
jestic giants. The Times will most heartily
assist any effort to secure proper care
for this tract. Any city might well esteem
1t q choice beauty spot.

Lynchings In the South Discussed by
COlOred Ministers.

CoinCidently the pastors of the cnlored
churches discussed i'll their pulpits ycster-
day the subject OF '.Lynchiugs in the
South" This was evidently ccasioned
by the several lynchings which have oc-
CURED in the South during The past week.
Rev. J. h. Colbert, of the Metropolitan
Zion Wesley Church. on ID street south
west, said lynch law and mob rule are
a sin before God. a disgrace to any civili-
ZatiUn. q crime against humanity, and
they who resort To IL for revenge betray
the instincts of savage brutes and stamp
themselves in the eyes OF the law as
miserable towards. LynchiDe is wrong,
it doesn't matter where IL exists nor by
whom committed. and il requires a strong
Christian sentiment to put it down.
Dr. J. T. Jenfer. of the Metropolitan
4. NJ E. Church, also delivered a very
Torcefui address .pon the subject.

DR.. Edmund J. Shanahan, who fills the
chair OF higher philosophy, is the youngest
member of the Catholic University faculty.
DR.. Shanahan is bat twentysiX years Of
age, a native OF Boston. and graduated at
Boston College in 'SS. The following year
he studied in Rome and Lourain, receiving
the degrees of Phi. D., j. C. l., at the
famous University OF LOurain. DR.. Sh3na-
han is now giving a course OF logic, both
formal ard applied, and in conjunction
with this is conducting a critical analysis
OF the work of modern systems. While
this is only an Introductory course of
higher philosophy it presupposes thorough
elementary grounding in the principles OF
the physical and abstract sciences and is
altogether different from the humdrum
position such as would be given in the
usual academic studies.
DR.. Frank Cameron, associate professor
in the chemical sciences, has lately pub
lished two papers on scientific subjects in
the American Chemical Journal.
Prof. Shea arrived yesterday and this
met the class OF physics for the
first time.
