]. Z. Scott, instructor in history and
clerk of the faculty at Bowdoin Col
leee for the past year. will leave in
June to accept POSITION as instructor
in the history Of education at the Uni
yersitv of Chicago according to an
announcement given out here today.
Mr.. Scott has been at Bowdoin only
for the past year but during the time
that he has been here he has demon
strated great ability as an instructor
and even greater ability, if such a
thing be possible, in making friends
among both faculty and undergrad
yates
Mr.. Scott was born in Newark, n.
J.. in 1882 and was fitted for college
ut Rutgers Preparatory School, New
Brunswick. ~ ]. He graduated from
RUTGERS College with the Glass of 1902
and for some time thereafter taught
in Secondary schools in various states.
He then went to the University of Wis
ccnsiu. where for three years he did
grad lato work, specializing particular
Nv in the history of education.
Last fall he came to RowdOin to
take up the new conference system,
used at BowGoin as in no other COL
| lege i'm the country. with the eXcep-
ton of the preceptorial system at
| Princeton In addition to his duties as
clerk OF tine faculty. Mr.. Scott con-
Quoted a course in the history of mod
err, Europe from the peace of West
phala to the present time. Under the
conference system, in which he is par
| ticularly interested. individual and
groul conferences are held between
himself and tie members of his class
every week for the discussion of as
signed readings in selected courses and
| secondary authorities.
II is understood that the university,
which has gloWn IN so Wonderfully
within the past few years on the south
side OF Chicago, has made some very
hatterne offers to the popular young
BoWGoin instructor but the college
here will feel his loss very keenly. HIS
work, it is. understood, will be mostly
lectures delivered upon the subject for
which he is so vell fitted and for which
he has been chosen. His work WILL
for the most part be concerned with
Seniors and graduate students and
since the University of Chicago pays
particular attention to graduate work.
tho honor is regarded as all the great
err. There are but few weeks in the
wear in which the university closes
its doors and Mr. Scott will begin his
lectures in the university a few days
after the end of the Bowdoin semester
and at the beginning of the Chicago
SIMMER term. Mr. Scott is one of the
most pleasing classroom lecturers on
the faculty at BoWdcin College and
the college is universal in wishing him
the great success which he will be sure
to gain in mis- new field.
