Aid the New Movement.

one in the history of the Winona Assembly.
for the plans are unfolded for step to
be made this year which will place this
Indiana resort of intellect among the fore
most of its kind in the world. Some of the
plans are too embryotic to speak on author
itatively this early but that they are con-
templated and assured is an admitted fact.
Prominent among the features to this end
is the establishment of winter school for
boys, at which the fullest preparation for
college is to be given pupils. To as
sure themselves of the feasibility of
the plan, those in authority have
been in communication with various
colleges throughout the country and up
to date have received replies from a
large number of Presbyterian and United
Presbyterian colleges. which state that it
is the purpose of their institutions to abol-
ish their own preparatory schools and unite
in supporting the new school at Winona.
Among the latest colleges to take this
step are Wabash and Woster (Ohio). 1t is
probable that the school will be established
next year. although necessity may COM
pei the managers to defer the opening until
the second year.
In addition to the above great movement
the Winona management has been informed
State University that it has been unani-
mously voted to locate the university bio
logical station permanently at Winona, to
be put in operation as soon as possible.
The station will be in charge of Professor
Eigenmann, an authority on biology.
