IMPORTANT MOVE.
Preparatory Department at wash
ington and Lee 10 be Abolished.

LEXINGTON. VA. January 2i.-(Spe-
cial)-A very important move with re-
gard to the matriculating Of students at
the Washington and Lee University has
been determined upon by the faculty OF
the university it provides for the aboli-
ton Of the preparatory department OF the
university. and the admission Of students
only after they have successfully passed an
entrance examination, OF come with their
proficiency vOuchcd for by certain dcsis-
mated classical schools.
Under the presidency of General Robert
T. Lee, Immediately after the war, IT
was made the practice OF the school TO
admit all students who applied, and in
case they were not prepared TO enter the
regular classes, they were admitted 10
preparatory classes and preparatory
department was then established for that
purpose The fact that at that time many
OF the young men who applied for dd-
mission had been soldiers. and had been
cut off from opportunities 10 prepare
themselves for college was deemed suiii-
cient to Justify this action. This practice
was followed By all the southern colleges.
and has since been adhered to at Wash
ncton and Lee. During the past year a
movement was set on foot by Vanderbilt
University 10 form an ASSOCIATION OF
southern colleges who were pledged 10
do away with the preparatory depart
me 1ts and require entrance examinations.
AN ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Representatives of number of southern
colleges met at Atlanta in November. ana
formed such an association. IL was de-
termined at that meeting to admit to
membership all colleges that had no pre-
paratOry department. and academies and
classical schools that gave no degrees.
The idea held was that colleges in the
association would by their action help
the preparatory schools, and the prepara-
tory schools i'm their turn. would be-
come more efficient In sending their boys
TO the colleges. When the association was
formed Washington and Lee University
was represented by Professor $. T. More
band. His action in joining the associa-
ton was unanimously approved by the
faculty OF the university. The subject
Of the university. and full authority to
act on the matter was given TO the
faculty.
THE EXAMINATIONS.
Preparatory examinations will be re-
qured in Latin. Greek. English, Ameri-
can history. and mathematics. The eN-
animation in Latin and Greek will only be
required of students who propose to take
other studies mentioned above will be re-
qured of all students who wish to enter
the academic department. The rule with
regard TO entrance examinations VIII go
into effect next session, except in the
school Of Greek, and it will not be APP
piled there until two years later. when
the preparatory school of Greek will be
abolished. The authorities of the uni
vcrsity will in the near future give the
necessary standard and steps to be taken,
in order TO become a matriculate,

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, January A.-Until the
last hour to-day trading In wheat dis
played no feature OF particular interest
but during the fnal sixty minutes there
was enough excitement 10 compensate
for all the previous dulness and mac
tiyity. II was not quite clear what the
reason for the sudden burst OF strength
was. The shorts did not bother 10 md
out. as IL took all their time to keep pace
with the climbing prices.
The tone OF the market before the
furry took place was irregular, several
unimportant advances and declines taking
place.
a feature OF to-day's market was the
coming together of the price OF May ana
Jtlly elevator concerns selling the latter.
May wheat opened at g. 5-sc;. SOLD be-

OF the wheat market. and closed az an

was OF dull AMI uniuteresting character

part shorts found II quite interesting. and
their efforts to cover helped 10 en'iven the
scene May corn opened AT Ji.c. sold
