 The annual report of Dean Wright oK the academic department contains some exceedingly valuable tables to prove
 the unwisdom of allowing classes to se- gregate themselves in certain sections or certain dornitories, and showing the good results of rooming in dormitories on the campus under control of the col- lege authorities. It appears that about three-fifths of the freshman class now room in Pierson hall and in York street, near by. The returns show that among freshmen rooming elsewhere, the per- lcentage of first division men is twice as great as in the region referred to, while
 the percentage of warnings for scholar
 ship deficiencies is only about half as great. In the sophomore class similar
 returns show that the percentage of
 Phi Beta Kappa men in the regular dormitories is four times as high as in the Sophomore section" at and near
 the corner of Crown and College streets
 and that the percentage of warnings for
 low scholarships was about three times
 as high in the sophomore section as in
 the regular dormitories; moreover. of
 the men who were deficient in scholar 1 ship while living in the sophomore sec tion about three-fifths always did sat- isfactory work after moving into the college dornitories.
 1 The dean, therefore, urges strongly rooming in the college dormitories, and l the increase of dormitory accommoda- 1 tions which now provide for only about | 800 out of 1900 academic students. He also fayors return to the old plan of division officers as enlarging personal 1 influence and friendly counsel between. l the instructor and student. i Director Chittenden of the scientific l school reports that the school has se- l cured a tract of land three miles long
 and mile wide in the town of Orange 1 for work in practical surveying The. dean argues at length and strongly I against the proposed abolition of Latin
 as an entrance requirement of the school, and asks for funds for a new bi- | ological laboratory. | Dean Sanders of the divinity school urges additions to the permanent funds
 to meet current expenses.
 1 The dean of the medical school an-
 nounces a gift of a scholarship of $210 l a year by E. A. Lawburgh of the class l of 1895, the scholarship to be awarded l to a graduate in arts of the University of Oregon.
 l MT. Mitchell, head of the bureau of l self-help, reports that $32,52 was given
 in the form of triton scholarships. of which $12,S51 came from the college
 treasury. He gives figures showing the high scholarship generally of students
 earning their way through college. The curators of Peabody museum an-
 nounce the renewal Of the Carnegie
 fund grant of $1,5O0, and an addition of
 $500 for original research work on fos- l sil cycads.
