Several specials entered. this fall, and
several men from other colleges, Bates
giving us four. Two entered in the
sophomore class, Harry e. Walker of
Ellsworth. and Harry C. Goddard Of
Auburn. John Weber of Bangor, will
enter as a special.
Several changes have been made
around the campus, the most notice
able of which is the renovating of Win
throp hall. This dorInitory was COM
pletely remodeled during last summer
hot water heating was put in, and hard
wood floors were put into several of the
rooms. This change in Winthrop hall
gives Bowdoin three practically new
dormitories, Appleton hall having been
remodeled, summer before last. The
hard wood finish in Main hall was
painted over, last summer, giving the
rooms a pleasanter appearance than
the dark wood.
There have only been two or three
changes in the faculty, this fall. the
most important of which is the secur-
ing of Mr.. Harry DeForest Smith as
assistant professor in ancient Ian
guages. Cassius c. Williamson, Bow
doin '9S, has taken B. l.. Bryant's place
as assistant in chemistry and j. E.
Odiorne. Bowdoin '9S. is assistant in
biology Other than these changes, the
faculty is the same as it was last year.
The new painting for the fourth tym-
panum in the Walker Art building has
arrived and was put in place. last Mon
day. 1t is a beautiful painting, SYM
bolical of Athens and was done by Mr..
John LaFaige.
