CHANGE OF PLAN.
What is now Required of Can
didates For Degrees.

Faculty Takes Action at a Recent Meet
ing-Resolution as Passed by it
students Given Some Freedom Of
Choice in Selecting Studies Plan
Already Success Elsewhere.
The following has been passed by
the faculty of the University:
Resolued, That from this time
on the degree of Bachelor of Arts be
conferred upon any student who
satisfies all entrance requirements.
and satisfactorily completes forty
two full college courses, Of which at
least nine courses are in some one
department, selected by the student
as his major subject or speciality.
The professor in charge of the stu
dents major work will act as the
students class officer and adviser
and shall have authority to require
the completion Of the major subject,
and also such minor subjects in 9th
er departments as he may consider
necessary or advisable collateral
work; provided that such minor re-
quirements shall not exceed six
courses. With the exception OF
these major and minor courses, all
work shall be elective and the stu
dent may, in consultation with his
major professor, freely choose any
subject taught in the University
which his previous studies have
prepared him to undertake; but the
recommendation of his major pro
lessor shall be necessary to gradua-
ton; but no degree shall be confer
red upon any student who has not
received credit for at least forty two
courses, and spent at least one Uni
versity year (three quarters in res
idence at this University.
Any student may elect law as his
major, but may not take more than
nine courses in law to count toward
his b. A. The student who has re-
ceiyed nine courses in law before re
ceiving the degree of B. A. may fin
ish the remainder of the law course
and receive the degree of LII. B. by
an additional years work in law,
providing in that time he is able to
take all of the remaining courses re-
quired for the degree of LII. B.
The change makes it possible for
student to take what he wants and
not bind him by an iron clad course.
At the same time it gives one man
chance to see that he gets what he
needs. This officer will be better
able to do this than the faculty is
or ever can be. The new order of
things will receive the appreciation
of every one who is interested in the
welfare Of the institution. It will
prevent many men from leaving the
state who would otherwise go where
they can study what they want or
need. The plan has been in success
full operation both at Harvard and
Leland Stanford for years and has
been found to be an excellent one.

Bailey, Banks and Biddle Will Make it
The Kind of Souvenir that Cap
tain Chadwick is to Have-The Spec
ifications of the Magnificent Tribute
to the Esteem in Which We Hold
Him.
Below is d fair description of the
Sword to be presented to Captain
French Z. Chadwick, of the u. S.
Cruiser, New York at this place
sometime the first part of October
next The sword has already been
ordered and these specifications will
be followed by the Company making
the sword. The contract for making
the sword was let to The Bailey,
Banks & Blddle Co., of Philadelphia,
Pa.
1.-THE dimensions and outline of
this sword are made to correspond
with the regulation sword of Naval
Officer. In preparing the design we
have endeavored to use emblems and
decorations suitable to the pIofes-
sion Of Captain Chadwick and also
for the occasion.
The Blade is to be the finest and
most flexible steel, decorated as de
sired by your committee. In the de-
sign we have ornamented one side
with the inscription Presented to
Captain French E. Chadwick by the
citizens of the State of West Virgin
ia festoons of laural decorating the
upper part On the one side Wig
nette of the Battleship New York.
All these decorations appearing in
gold.
The Grip is to be'made of Shark
skin, entwined with gold laurel (em-
blematic CT honor and triumph.
The Pommel is massive piece of
gold work decorated on either side
with an American Bald Eagle in gold
reliet, grasping fouled anchor. In
the top is set an amethsyt.
The Guard is encircled at the top
by dolphin the scales and other
portions richly executed. It's lower
portion is of pierced work and EN-
bodies the letters U. S. N. entwined
with oak leaves and acorns Signify
ing strength J, the edge finished with
rope. The face of the guard is en-
riched by an engraved yignette Of
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet with the
Cruiser New York in the foreground.
The Scabbard is to be made of
sterling silver, either polisheh or oxi-
dyed, relieved by decorations. The
designs show the Scabbard in black
oxidyzed silver which would make
very handsome contrast with the
gold portions.
The bands which secure the rings
to which the trappings are attached
are composed of heavily carved laurel
wreaths. Above the upper band.
just beneath the guard is the full
coat OF arms of the State of West
Virginia, with motto. Below this
band is the head of Neptune. Mid
way between the upper and lower
bands is the monogram f. E. G. The
trip Of the scabbard is massive gold
conventionalized Dolphin which sup
ports trident entwined with sea-
weed.
All metal parts Of the blade and
trappings would be made of heavy
and massive IA karat Gold. The
webbing is embossed in heavy gold
bullion and made especially TO order.
This to be made throughout Of regu-
latian form.
|
This sword could be made for one
thousand dollars ($1, 00O) including
handsome case to hold the sword and
trappings.

Everything Charles Frohman touched
apparently turned to gold. He has been
interested in more stars and theaters
than any other manager, and all but
one of his ventures have proved profita-
BILE. Early in the season he sent out a
play called Little Miss Nobody" which
was a failure and was withdrawn be-
fore losing much money. The men who
are interested with F'rohman have, of
course, shared his success. His personal
profits, stated, are 100000, figuring
on the entire season. He has made this
money from: Maude Adams in THE
Little Minister" $175. 900; John Drew,
$35, 900; Annie Russell in Catherine"
$4,000; Mrs. James Brown-Potter in
"Zaza," $50, 000; Gillette's Secret Ser

$40,O 900.
No star ever made as great profit in
one season in America as Maude Adams
in 1.-The Little Minister
Next to Frohman comes Jacob Lift,
due largely to his taking advantage of
popular feeling during the war by the
revival of the war drama, 'Shenan-

In Old Kentucky" $4,000; his thea

"Cyrano de Bergerac' gave Richard
