educated in the public schools Of
Chicago, at the Armour Institute. The
Chicago Art Institute, and Chicago

tary school connected with the College

summer school last June, is a daugh-
ter Of Prof. A. w. Rankin of the col
lege Of education at the state univer-
sity. Her mother, Mrs Rankin, is
the author OF series Of school Ian
guage books. Miss Rankin has been
literally educated. Following a course
at the university, she went east, where
she graduated with high honors from
Smith college. She taught English
with pronounced success during the
summer session; but will teach Latin
during the coming year. since Miss
Anderson's work as dean of women
will prevent her doing more than a
daily course in teaching.
Bertha Rogers, who succeeds Miss
Sco6eld as teacher of intermediate
grades In the model school, is q
graduate of the state normal school
at Worcester, Mass. She took courses
in education at Harvard university
and Clark university, and subsequent
ly took the degree Of B. S. from

Miss Robinson having withdrawn
as dean Of women, in order to &C
cept q position Of similar character at
the University of South Dakota, Miss
Tryphena Anderson has been ap-
pointed to succeed her. The position
involves no decisive change in Miss
Anderson's duties, since her work as
preceptress OF Comstock Hall. made
her in all respects a second to the
dean of women. Her admirable re-
sources, as a teacher and preceptor,
were abundantly though modestly
manifested last year, and her acquain-
tances will heartily endorse the APP
pointment that makes her dean Of
women throughout the school. She
will be assisted in the work Of admin
istration by Miss Fanny Simms. who
becomes preceptress OF Comstock Hall.
