The weather of Commencement

The four new members added TO the
Faculty last year have been most sat
isfactory. Prof. B. L. Miller, having
received a valuable appointment IN
connection with the Maryland Geology
cal survey and John Hopkins unlver-
sity. rendered his resignation to the
Board. A minute expressive OF our
high appreciation of his scholarly ana
| faithful work at Penn was entered
upon the College records. To the CHAIR
of Physics and Chemistry Prof. Edwin
Morrison has brought native ability,
careful preparation and true devotion.
In addition to his excellent qualifca-
ton as Professor of Science, his gift
in the ministry has been very helpful.
Prof. c. /. Hoffman, after six years
of study in the University of Indiana,
two in the University of Chicago and
several years of successful experience
as a teacher. came to us most thor
oughiy prepared along the line of Bot
any and Biology, and his connection
with the College has been most graf
flying. Prof. Ella Stokes has had
charge of the work in Psychology,
Philosophy and part work in Latin for
which she had made thorough prepar-
alton at the Ohio Wesleyan and Chi
cagO Universities. Her work has been
characterized by devotion. patience and
sound scholarship. Mary A Meredith
has filled the choir of Modern Ian
guages in an acceptable manner. Her
residence of fifteen months in France
and Germany and her jealous devotion
to the departments have given her a
fine qualification for this field of work.
The department stands upon a basis
equal to the same work in the Colleges
OF the state.
During the summer Profs. Kitchener,
Edwards and Stokes were at the Uni
versity of Chicago pursuing advanced
work along their special lines. All
were able to win high commentator
for proficiency and ability from those
in authority. The Board has granted
Prof. Hadley a leave of absence for
the purpose of prosecuting his studies
in higher Mathematics and Astronomy.
Prof. Owen, a graduate from the Uni
yersity of Kansas, and a teacher of
successful experience. has been secur-
ed to fill the chair of Mathematics for
next year.
The attitude of both Faculty and
towards advanced scholarship
has been commendable, indeed. On ev-
cry hand there has been manifested
The most ardent desire to fit them
