little consequence what the college does. The presence of such persons tends to make a farce of higher educa- tion. In case the senior year is hope lessly lost to social pursuits it may be omitted entirely. Tn view of the fact that the rear car of the train was most subject to accidents it has been propos- ed in Germany to leave off the rear car of each train in the interest of safety. In the same fashion we may suppress the senior year.
 In most institutions it is better to re- quire four years work for the bachel- OTIS degree, in addition to the highest entrance requirements now existing, rather than to relegate the fourth year to the professional school. There should be no abrupt change either in matter or method at the end of the under graduate course. It is a sound princi- pie that a man should not be necessary to deal collectively with large numbers of men-it is disadvantage to do so; and as far as possible the actual needs of each individual should be consider ed. The university should radiate from the college, extending outward in every direction containing work already be- gun. It should not be a separate school with different sympatlaies and methods, superimposed upon the college.
 The paper presented by President Ar thur T. Hadley of Yale on the same sub- ject was in part as follows:
 "The actual use os the names college work and university work varies in diff serent countries. and even in different parts of the same country. There is a tendency to apply the name university to those institutions which are more ad- vanced in their teaching or more com plex in their organization, and the name college to those which are less advanc- ed or complex: but there is no definite line of distinction. The real division is the instruction given at cur higher in- stitutions learning is into four groups; academic, professional technologieal and graduate Some men, especially in years past. would have confined the term college to the academic course, and considered all the other three groups as constituting university work. Others were disposed to call the academic and technological schools by the name of colleges, while the professional and graduate courses were thought to con- stitute the university. Still others would confine the application of sthe name university work to the graduate course alone None of these practices is entirely satisfactory. It seems bet ter. on the whole, to conform more nearly to the French practice of apply ing the name university work to the or ganizing and co-ordinating duties of the general administration, whether colle- giate or intercollegiate.
