GREENCASTLE, Ind, June 8.-The trus-
tees of De Paw University have concluded
their work making arrangements for the
budget of expenses for next year. Several
changes have been made in the important
departments of the school, but 1t is given
out by President Goblin that these will not
interfere with the work or lead to the dis
continuance of any classes. They will re-
quire a larger number of hours work on
the part of the professors. The expenses had
to be cut materially to meet the income and
the board went into the work with that
determination. While they made various
changes they carefully preserved a full
teaching force in the college of liberal arts.
The most important action was the abol-
ishment of the school of theology. DR.. John
Poucher, who has been dean of this de-
partment and professor of Hebrew, has re-
signed and his resignation as treasurer of
the faculty has also been accepted. His
work as treasurer has been left to a COM
mittee of the trustees and he will continue
to serve until his successor qualities DR..
Poucher will again enter the active minis
terial work of the M. E. Church, with
which he has long been identified DR.. John
Bigham resigns as professor of philosophy.
This is the only resignation in the college
of liberal arts and the work will go to DR..
Goblin, who will in turn be excused from
doing any field work for the university. For
the past year or two the demands in the
line of visiting, soliciting and preaching
have been heavy on President Goblin, and
in the future this work will be entirely in
the hands of DR.. w. H. Hickman, vice
chancellor. Many changes are made in the
preparatory school Prof. Oliver P. Hoover,
instructor in Greek and English retires, as
does also Prof. Francis w. Hanawait, in
structor in mathematics, and Prof. Frank
s. Ditto, instructor in Greek, Bible geog-
raphy and history. The resignation of Miss
Ida B. Weaver was rendered some time ago
and was accepted, she being instructor in
French. William A. Riley, assistant in
physiology, will accept a position in the
University of Illinois; The work OF these
by the professors in the college of liberal
arts The reduction of force was an abso-
have been giving satisfaction, but no other
course could be followed 1t is said none
of the professors will break down under the

the present year an instructor in the acad-
envy in history and mathematics, will not
hold his position next year; He is on the
retired list of the navy and was called to

The annual commencement day exercises
were held this morning in Meharry Hall
before large audience. Music was rendered
