NEW PROFESSORS.
Those who were not here during
the Summer Quarter will find sever
al new faces in the Faculty. Prof.
Harvey, who has had the chair of
Modern Languages for so many
years, resigned a year ago and his
department has been divided into
two chairs, viz: German and the
Germanic Languages, and the Ro-
nance Languages { French, italian
and Spanish. The chair Of German
and the Germanic Languages is
filled by Frederick Wilson Truscott,
Phi. D. He is admirably equipped
for his work, being a graduate of
Indiana University, a Phi. D. from
Harvard and having studied for
three years in Berlin, Germany. He
began his work here with the Sum
mer Quarter and has already proved
himself to be splendid teacher
Kenneth Mckenzie, Pb. D., has
the chair OF Romance Languages.
He was graduated at Harvard in
1891, studied abroad for a couple Of
years and took his Doctor Of Philos-
ophy degree at Harvard in 1895.
Since then he has been teaching the
Romance languages in Union Col
lege, N. Y. He taught in the West
Virginia University this summer
and has already made multitude
of friends. 1t will be seen that the
Modern Languages are in most ex-
cellent hands.
Mr. James p Whyte, who had
charge Of the department of Elocu-
ton and Public Speaking last year
resigned this summer and his place
will be taken by Mr.. Charles Henry
Patterson, A. NJ, graduate of Tufts
College, Mass, who has had a good
deal of successful experience as a
teacher OF these subjects. He was
here for short time this summer
and had charge of some classes. All
who had work with him were de
lighted with his instruction.
ELooUTloN WILL BE FREE.
Hereafter Elocution and Public
Speaking will be free to all of the
students in the University, the fees
in the department having been abol-
ished. Prof. Patterson will also
train free of charge all of the con-
testants for the, various literary
prizes offered in the University.
This announcement will be good
news to all the students who are in
terested in these subjects. There
will certainly be great impetus in
Elocution and Public Speaking, and
indeed in all literary work in the
University under the encouragement
thus given to it. Prof Patterson
instruction will not only be abso-
lutely free but it will be of high
quality and thoroughly practical.
Prof. Robert A. Armstrong, who
has spent the summer in the Uni
versity of Chicago, returned home
this morning and is ready to resume
his work as Professor of English,
His studies this summer have fitted
him to do even better work than last
year.
Prof. William S. Aldrich, who has
has been serving as an officer in the
U. S. Navy ever ssince the war with
Spain began, has been released from
duty and is on his way home. His
summers experience with the repair
ship Vulcan will be of great benefit
to him in the Mechanical Engineer
ing department of the University of
which he is the head. Prof. AL
