Professor Clark W. Hetherington:
early last spring handed In his resiG=:
nation as Professor Of Physical Ed
ucation and Director of Athletics. in
order to devote himself to the promo
ton of the playground movement in
lAmerica, to which he had already been
{giving much attentions. 1t was not an
easy matter to find man qualified
in every respect to adequately fill the
position, involving as It does knowl-
edge of and ability to direct SO many
different phases of physical activity.

ldent of physical development and one
capable of seeing the bearing Of the

believe that we have found man
|combining these qualifications. in Mr..

sIseven years has held similar posi-
ltion in the Michigan Agricultural Col
:Ilege. Mr.. Brewer has too keen a
lsense of obligation to the institution
which now employs him. to resign his
position even as late as July LIST. the
date on which met him in Detroit,
and he will therefore not be able to
take up his work here until January
1, 1911. In the meantime satisfac-.
tory arrangements will be made for
the conduct of the entire work Of that
department until his arrival.
Professor A. o. Lovejoy, than whom
there is no more brilliant man. In the
field of philosophy IT. this country, re-
signed, greatly to our regret. to accept
a chair In the Graduate School Of
Johns Hopkins University. We were
sorry to lose him, but count ourselves
fortunate to secure as his successor

several years been Professor Of Phil.
osophy in Butler College, Indiana, who
has done more constructive work as
philosophical writer than any man. Of
Ibis age in this country, and who has
already achieved a national and inter-
national reputation.
