 Date is A33,

Date is 433,
 University. Jan. 25.--(Special. )--Dr. Ed ward r. Buchncr, professor of Philosophy and Education at the University, has recently been honored by being chosen a member of the editorial staff of The Psychological Review. a monthly maga- zine published by the Macmillan Com panv and devoted to the interests of philosophical research. Dr. Buchner's work on the magazine will be to publish. in occasional articles, the progress of psychology as a whole.
 The enrolment at the University this session has reached the high water mark. During the war between the States when many students were here to prepare for military service and when a majority were in the preparatory department, which has since been abolished, the en- rollment was greater than now, but the present enrolment of University students is the greatest in the history of the in- stitution. The total matriculation to date is 4s3. By departments, the numbers are as follows: Academic, 216: law. 51: medl- cal 152; pharmaceutical, IA. The next highest enrolment was in 19OO-01 when the matriculation was 413... That year the matriculation by departments was as fol- lows: Academic. 2o4; law. 57; medical and pharmaceutical. 152. For the last session, the total enrolment was 375. By departments it was as follows: Academic, 169; law, 60; medical and pharmaceutical. l46. Comparing the enrolment of this session with that of last. an increase of g per cent will be noticed in the academic department, a decrease of IS per cent in the law department. and an increase of 10 per cent in the departments of medi- cine and pharmacy.
