FORDHAM UNIVERSITY.

Dr. William P. Healy has just en-
tered on the third year Of his Office as
dean of the Fordham University School
of Medicine. The success which has
attended his efforts during the last
Two years has been very remarkable.
All the departments have been thor
oughly organized; the equipment OF the
laboratories has been extended and i'm
proved; and the clinical facilities have
been onsiderably increased.
There are now two courses offered
IN the collegiate medical department:
~ A course extending through one
college session Of thirty-two weeks.
This year includes advanced courses
in physics, chemistry, biology and Ger
man or French. (2J A course of two
years leading to the degree of B. s.
and VI. d. at the end of the six years
Of the collegiate medical and the reg
ular medical course. The studies for
this course are to be made in the
classes of freshman and sophomore Of
the School Of Arts and Sciences at
Fordham University, and include
courses in biology, inorganic chemis-
try and physics, with lecture and lab
oratory work in each of these subjects
as required by the American Medical
Association. On the completion of the
collegiate medical course the student
begins his four years in the medical
school proper.
The clinic located in the Medical
School is open every day from 9 a. m.
10 3 p. m. Students thus have the oD-
portunity Of studying cases under the
direction Of their professors in the
school itself, as we'll as at the different
hospitals where they attend clinical
lectures and do clinical clerking. The
equipment of the clinic has been ap-
proved as first class by the New York
State board
The medical department Of Fordham
University IS located on the university
grounds, at Fordham Road and Bath
gate av. The buildings occupy the
space of about two city blocks They
are in close proximity TO Fordham
Hospital, where the students study dis
ease and its cure under the direction Of
their professors.
The didactic lecture has been def
nitely abandoned at Fordham. and the
teaching is given by recitation from
selected textbooks, by demonstration
and by bedside instruction. Except as
introductions 20 certain courses, no
lectures are given without demonstra-
tions. As far as possible, the case sys-

tionized the teaching of law. is fol-

mild climate at Port Deposit goliing

At present handicap tournament is
being held in which every student in
the school is participating. Mr. Martin,
the professional, who has been en-

ber will be greatly increased. Last

from that team only Burrough and

An instance of this is the case OF the
Board OF Superintendents, which meets
behind closed doors and around table.

such as has been suggested-a board
sitting in seclusion-could act win

forty-six or more members in a board

Every citizen knows that the placing
Of an arc light in any part OF the
city is one of the best methods OF the
prevention Of undesirable conditions.
Let us hope that this fact will be
borne in mind whenever the proposition
is advanced TO control the public school
system within the privacy Of the "star
chamber" or by small board around
a table"

HAMILTON COLLEGE.

The new $4,000 library of Hamil-
ton College was actually finished Tor
the use of the students last week,
though il was dedicated more than a
month ago. Andrew Carnegie was
present at the dedicatory exercises,
after receiving an LII. ID. degree from
the college. Senator Elihu Root, as
one OF the college alumni and chair
man Of the board of trustees, formally
presented the library for the use Of
the students. The name of the donor
was not announced.
Presidents Schurman of Cornell and
Richmond OF Union College praised
the building very highly. The huge
reading room, rising to a vaulted cell
ing forty feet 10 the arch. is note
worthy. and there are many details OF
library management that are new and
deserve attention.

The school has begun very sue
cessful year, with larger enrolment
than last year. The new management
has developed the old-time Berkeley
spirit. The boys are much pleased
with the honor system inaugurated
anG the discipline is splendid. All
departments are working smoothly.
The primary, under the direction Of
Mrs. Adams, Is a pleasure TO see; the
senior department has assumed its re-
sponsibility of maintaining discipline
and the building up of character
among the younger boys in manner
that assures the success of the honor
system. The afternoon recreation and
instruction trips, conducted by the
masters. are enjoyed to the utmost by
the preparatory and middle classes.
The senior department has developed
a large and interesting class for grad
uation, most Of the members of which
are preparing to enter various unlver-
stiles.

dcplored by all. DR.. Mcclellan, OF

the largest enrolment in the history
of the school. With more tha. tn.ee
hundred boys, Trinity expects to, and

under the auspices of the Venerable
Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts, and was main
tanned in connection with Trinity Par
ish until 1906. Conducted at the start

the school has gradually moved uptown
with the progress Of the residential
district, until in 1898 the present site
and building were provided by the
trustees in order to meet the growing
demand for places in the school.
The corporation which now maintains
Trinity School is the New York Protes-
tant Episcopal Public School, which re-
ceived its charter in 1906 from the Leg
islature Of the State Of New York and
was given the right TO establish one or
more schools Under this charter, Trim
ity School was reorganized and main
tained.
Tho school building has about 125
feet of frontage on West 9lst St, with
depth of 100 feet, and is four stories
high. The construction is OF the most
generous and substantial character and
insurance brokers have declared .hat
they can suggest nothing to make the
building more fireproof than il is. The
arrangement of the building is admir-
ably adapted TO the needs of a boys
school, and the sanitary conditions are
uncNcelled.
This year three new members have
been added TO the faculty TO take the
places of Mrs. Mason, Mr.. Mccarthy
