THE BoWDOIN CATALOGUE.
Large Gain in Students.-The New
Courses Offered.

Brunswick, Me-, Jan. 20.-The cata-
logue for Bowdoin college for 1902
1908, just issued, shows a total enroll
ment of 391, of which number 275 are
in the academic department. There
are So seniors, 60 juniors, So sopho-
mores, 67 freshmen, and % special
students. The enrolment shows a
gain of Il students in the college over
the previous year.
The decrease in the number of medi-
cal students which has been noted in
the three last catalogues, and which
was caused by the change in the length
of the course from three years to four,
is no longer apparent. The school now
has four classes with a total enrolment
of 1874. The total gain for the inStitu-
ton thus shown over the previous year
is 49,
For the first time in many years the
catalogue shows little change in the
faculty of the college. DR.. A. l.. p.
Dennis has been advanced from in
structor to professor of history An
assistant has been added to the de-
partment of history and the position is
lIllcu ny IluNdlu OWoocy AIIlllOllte. "a
B., of Portland, a graduate of the class
of 1902. The only change in the med
zeal school is the appointment of AL
fred Mitchell, Jr., A. B. M. D., as in
structor in surgery.
The most important change noted in
the catalogue OF 19021903 is in the
statement concerning admission to the
college both in regard to the subjects in
which examinations are held, and in
the terms of admission. At the meet
ing of the boards in June last, the re-
quirement of Greek for the degree of
A. B. was abolished. And, as result
of this, English, Greek, latin, mathe-
matics, French, Germany chemistry,
physics, and history (both ancient and
moderm may be offered in fulfIlment
of the entrance requirements, and the
value of the work is graded on a sys-
tenn of points which is practically the
same as that adopted at the last meet
ing of the Association of Colleges and
Preparatory Schools of Maine. Twen-
ty-six points are necessary for admis-
sion, of which number 20 are required
and six elective.
The more important changes in the
COuISeS Oh lHSlTuCUlOH are as IOllOWS.
One three term course has been added
in French; one course during the fall
term in debating;' one three-term
course in economies; and one three
term course in shop work which is in
tended mainly for those who propose
to enter technical professions or
schools. Rhetoric which has hitherto
been required during the sophomore
year has been put back into the fresh
man year, and the Greek, Latin,
French, and German of freshman year
reduced from four hours to three. In
the fall of 1903 an instructor will be
added to the department of physics
and astronomy which will render pos
sible three full three-ter courses in
physics and one three-term course in
astronomy. a development which will
materially improve the opportunities
offered in these departments.
In the portion devoted to the Medical
School of Maine, is noted in particular
the completion of the new laboratories
for the use of students in bacteriology
and pathological histology.

and stakes will be settled in the good old
way.
Warren R. Brown, the horse buyer of
Skowhegan, was in Dover and Foxcroft
recently looking over the horsefesh of
the twin towns. During his visit he
bought three horses of S. c. Sanford, the

Rushton was recently offered $l25 more
than he paid for her.
To make sure a horse has not been
Tagged, put him in the stable for an hour
or two, and allow him to cool off. Feed
and water him, and if there is any disease
or lameness of a chronic nature it will
show itself. Go into the stall and bring
the horse out yourself. Note how he
steps over and how he backs out of the
stall. Watch for string halt and corea,
disease which prevents a horse from
backing properly. Trot him again to
again test him for lameness and sound
ness of wind. If he passes this ei.amina-
ton he is scUnd.-New England Home
