C. Fisher, whose resignation from the
Wesleyan university faculty.. of which
he had been a member more than
twenty years was : announced last
Monday, intends to enjoy his "sabba-

In an interview as to his future work
he says:
For a, while I shall make no plans
for the future. Only one thing Is set
tied; I shall have a real rest. For
more than twenty years 1 have car
ried a very heavy load of large class
es in subjects which can be kept
abreast of the world only by much
labor. The .sabbaticaI year so com
monty enjoyed by men in my line at
Wesleyan and elsewhere has not come
to me Now want it, I am already
committed to some work, in writing
and in connection with pending leg
islation, but in addition to that shall
take on nothing important for a time.
Only under the most extraordinary in
ducenents would load up before the
close of the trouting season; and I
much prefer to be free for g. full
