thirty-eight thousand first choice votes recorded.

chairman of the Tammany Committee OF Five,
appointed TO investigate the reports of vice and
official corruption in this city, called the report

Mr.. Nixon more Than month ago. In the in

To have an equivalent number of hours counted
in his favor toward the total number of sixty
hours week for each year which are required
10 get a degree. The way in which the ar
rangement may work is thus explained by
member of the faculty:
Heretofore number of men have been admit
ted to the freshman class who were especially
well prepared in some subjects. and quite able
10 omit the course in those subjects offered to
their class and pass on at once to the advanced
course iE the subjects offered TO sophomOres
Under the new plan these men would ne encour-
aged 10 at once anticipate that part of their
freshman years work by an examination, get
ting credit for many hours toward the total
course. for instance. in one OF the modern lam
Suages or in mathematics Another small class
OF men come to college We'll prepared, ana able
and willing 10 do more than the successive work
each class calls for with a view 10 attaining
their degree i'm le5s than four years Under the
new plan these men are encouraged 10 antcl-
pate a part of their freshman year work at
once, and enough of the work of later years uur-
ing subsequent summer vacations, to enable
them to complete the sixty hours within three
years. This class of men is necessarily small
but made up of mature and earnest students 10
whom il is a matter of serious Importance 10
complete their course in less than the four years
From this it will be seen that only few stu
dents are likely to prove both proficient and
industrious enough to take advantage of the
opportunity offered 10 all under rigid and oner
oJlS conditions and secure the bachelors degree
after three years residence at the university.
Consequently only slight effect will be pro-
duced on the traditional class relations, and
the outside world will observe no change what
soever i'm the life of the university.
Of more general Importance is another regu-
Iation also just adopted, which is designed To
avert the risk incident TO liberal elective sys-
tenn. that some students will diSsipate their
energies over a wide field of unrelated sub
jects. while others will specialize too much
For this purpose each student will he required
10 pursue major and two minor branches of
study. with a view 10 his reaching certain
degree of attainment along connected lines of
work" From a consideration of the objects
aimed m and the methods thus applied ii ap-
pears that progress is still conservatively pro-
NOTED ar Yale. and that the ancient institu-
ron is in no danger Of losing its identity.
