| methods of study were changed to keep
abreast with the advancement made in all
! the best institutions.
| This explanation seems to be neces-
| sary in order to correct two erroneous
reports that have gone out regarding
| these changes. First, that there has been
| or was intended to be some rehectlOn
| upon the quality of the student material
that was doing its work in the evening.
and that there was false notion that by
| doing this work in the afternoon instead
of in the evening it would necessarily
be of higher grade. 1t would nave
been quite as possible, so far as the
| work is concerned, to have made it just
what it is now in every particular, and
continue 1t In the evening. but there
would not have been that close associs-
ton, that solidarity of the student body
/ which now exists
4 Another decided advantage which has
been reached by this change is the repu-
tation which the university has attained
i by placing itself in line with other in
stitutions in this regard. 1t is not today
collection of isolated schools. 1t is a
solid. compact body of fine students: a
united teaching staff-in short, uni
| versity.
