SHY. he VIII deliver four lectures about
'he end OF March on the general subject
or Experimental Psychology" DR.. Hall
was formerly Professor of Psycholovv
IN the johns Hopkins University. and Is
not only an expert In his chosen field OF
investigation, but also a most magnetic
and charming lecturer. He Is I'm. great
demand before assemblies of teachers
and has frequently delivered popular adj
dresses before mass meetings of the
National Educational Association.
President Boatwright has not reIln-
quished work on the scientific endowment.
Though gifts have not been numerous
recently, there has been constant assu-
rance OF widespread interest In. the pro-
posed enlargement OF the science de-
partments. A striking illustration of
affection for the college was the gift
some days ago OF 81 for the science fund
sent by sunbeam society In Appomat-
tox county. The society is composed OF
little boys and girls, and as no appeal
had been made TO such organizations
the surprise caused by the gift was all
the more delightful. IL will be greatly
to the interest OF Richmond II this moves
ment can be successful and laboratories
equipped with modern apparatus for
work In chemistry, physics. and biology
can be placed on the college campus
LAW SCHOOL.
The law school, under the able and
scholarly instruction OF Professors Gre
cory and Minor, continues to prosper. Tho
work of the term just closing has been
full Of interest, and that which is to fol-
low promises TO be even more attractive.
The student who enters for the next half
session, though a novice I'm the study OF
law, may hope to profit to almost the
same extent as the student who has al
ready been studying, for the subjects
treated in the different parts of the course
are separate and distinct, and the know
ledge Of one is not essential to the UNDER
standing OF another. In the spring term
Professor Gregory will lecture In the
junior class upon commercial. interna-
tional. and constitutional law. and In the
senior class upon real estate and equity.
Professor Minor will lecture in the junior
class upon criminal law and evidence, ana
in the senior class upon common law
pleading.
