 evoked an unexpectedly enlivening dis
 cussion. The executive board reported

 Professor Harrington feared that the
 academic atmosphere of the session

 heuser- Busch will personally do their Inoblest to alleviate the heat. "
 l Dr. Scott was present at the conven- j tion held in Chicago. It is true that
 conditions there were intolerable, said l he," but that was due to the intellec- tual and mral capacity f the art conn lmittee, who invited professors from all lover the world to meet at the same ltime in an unventilated, art gallery
 with all the locomotives in Chicago un- 4 der the window to represent the toot-
 CTS. But it is not best for man to be H too comfortable. I am an exponent Of N the strenuous life. and am ready to go ! to St. Louis to melt if necessary in the Icause of philology.s
