Something happened when was close

Many years after the war was over

going to the Surgeon-Generals Office |
asked if | could see my hospital record.
| They turned to the books of the hospitals,
and there was my record sure enough.
The regimental hospital, the brigade

the hands of elected recluse and coun-
ellis of professors. who are thoroughly
in sympathy with reform work, the ed
ucational situation is darkening and
there are prospects that the hot headed
zeal of student reformers and the ac-

One University Closed.
Prince Troubotsky. rector of Mos
cow university. who is the foremost lib
eral in Russia. has with the approval
of the council of professors already
been forced TO close that university
temporarily owing to the packing of
student assemblies by outside agita-

university has warned students that
the participation of outsiders in their
meetings should be stopped The
same state of affairs is reported at
Odessa and other universities.

tuted a boycott of several professors
who are disliked on account of their
