parents be excused by the president.
Although planned primarily as a war
emergency course it will be not only mill

in recognition OF the fact that nearly all
those who take the course will ulti-
mately follow a civil career. The studies
arranged that student may wait till
the end Of the year to decide whether he
will follow the military course there
after or the ordinary plan. Thus a
freshman entering Princeton at the nor
NAL age will have completed the course
and become eligible for his degree by
the time ne reaches draft age.
In accordance with an order Of the
War Department, students Of eighteen
years or over taking this course may en-

with such adjustments Of his courses as

his graduation. Students desiring to
take only the military Subjects offered in
the course will be enrolled as special
students. not candidates for degree.
They will thus be enabled TO complete
their purely military training in a
shorter time than three years.

What Is Going On
Within Academic Walls
THE exchange of professors be-

THE exchange of professors be-
tween French and American
universities Is not a new idea,
but the present alliance in war gives
1t increased Importance. Vassar Col
lege Is one OF the first to benefit from
attention to this matter by the French
High Commission. Mile. Marie Jour
dan of the Lycee de Bordeaux will take
up work at Vassar as Exchange pro-
fessor" in the autumn. and be for a
year a regular member of the French
department. Mile. Jourdan will be a
valuable addition to the teaching forces
Of this country In her field.
AS student at the Ecole Normale
de Sevres she specialized In the French
language and literature. She then
passed In the first rank the rigorous com.
petitive examination for candidates
from the whole of France. known as
aggregation des Iettres. Soon after
she was appointed a professor in the
important Lycee dc Jeunes Files OF
Bordeaux. where she has made a
notable reputation as a teacher. The
fact that she has been proposed for
promotion to Paris indicates the esti-
mate Of her ability in her own country.
Incidentally, she has taken an inn
portant part in war work in the trans.
formation of the Lycee de Bordeaux
into a hospital and in the physical and
mental reconstruction Of wounded SOL
dlers
Carrying this idea still further Vassar
will enter into exchange relations with
French colleges by the establishment OF
an exchange teaching fellowship. An
alumna of Vassar has provided funds
for lectrice, to be selected by the
French High Commission from among
the graduate students of some French
college for women, to take up residence
at Vassar and aid in the work of the
French department, particularly in the
matter Of conversation classes. In re-
turn a Vassar graduate will be sent
to France Miss Margaret NJ. Sher-
wood, '12. of Cornwall, n. Y, has al
ready been selected and after consider
ing the invitations of several French
colleges which were extended to the
Vassar representative has decided to
accept that of Grenoble.

Panoramic View Of Various Activities Throughout the Student World

School from corporations for doctors to
take charge of health activities. The
demand Is young but growing apace,
and there Is to-day no medical school in
the country which offers an adequate
course of training to meet it. At pres
ent physicians holding these positions
have to learn by experience how best to
apply their general medical knowledge
to the varying problems of occupational
disease and industrial health.
Believing that the time is ripe, the
Harvard Medical School has taken coun-
sci with a number OF the leading en-
ployers of labor in New England and
has received such encouragement that It
plans to start In the fall systematic
training in industrial health combined
with investigation OF the causes Of occu-
pational disease.
Realizing that this is no time to ask
for large sums, 1t seemed wise TO finance
the plan by annual subscriptions from
corporations and individual employers
for five years, and 1t was estimated that
the moderate sum OF $4,000 year
would justify the undertaking. Before
the end of that period It is to be hoped
that happier times will prevail. and no
doubt is felt that then a permanent en-
dowment can be secured
An ultimate end in view Is the devel-
opment OF a centre to which any en-
pioyer OF labor, large or small, can ap-
ply for expert aid in the solution Of any
problem pertaining to industrial health.
At present DR. Rosenau, professor OF
preventive medicine and hygiene AT the
Harvard Medical School. Is carrying on
an important investigation for the Ma
tional Gamers Association. Prof Edsall
has just been entrusted by very large
corporation doing war work with the

ton of III health among It's workmen

THE Lowthorpe School of Landscape

THE Lowthorpe School of Landscape
Architecture, Gardening, Horti-
culture and Agriculture, at Groton,
Mass. established nearly twenty years
ago. has voted to concentrate all its re-
sources on the courses in general agri-
culture for land army service in this
country. but with emphasis on the re-
construction training desired by those
who would prepare for the much needed
rural reconstruction work in France,
Belgium. Russia and Italy.
For the duration of the war. then. the
school will discontinue its splendid de-
partment of landscape architecture which
is graduating this month an excep-
tional group Of students who have COM
pleted the three years course and are
tons in their chosen profession. The
new training which the school Is offering
is designed for women who may wish
to engage next spring in the rehabilita-
ton of the desolate and desecrated coun-
try left worse than barren by the re-
treating army. The dates of the ses-
sion. July 1, 1918. to April 1, 1919. are
arranged with special reference to the
fact that the student will have the range
Of summer and winter and spring ex-
perience. French will naturally be en-
phaszed. as will agricultural methods OF
European countries. The essential in
struction in the repair of farm ma
chinery and motor vehicles is recog-
nzed, as Is the necessity for womer
workers to know the construction Of
shelters for pigs, poultry. &C.

The fact ttat President Wilson and
many other public officials are urging
students under draft age to improve
their opportunities TO complete their ed
ucation is largely responsible for an in
crease Of interest in summer school
work. Educated men and women are
needed in war time. but more especially
will they be needed after the war. In
terest is also fostered by the many
courses OF study dealing directly with
the war and its problems. II is quite

ing with the least possible delay, so
that they may be the sooner prepared TO

All of us. suppose, like good captains
of our several craft, are keeping our
weather eyes open for the changes in
collegiate education that will follow the

ment think see clearest is this: our
country has broken through its isola-
ton; it Is taking its place as an actively
participating world power among the
rest. This means, II 1t means anything,
that local and provincial standards in
education. as in other fields, will no
longer suffice. We must conform to
world standards. NO nation must have
a better educational machine than we,
none must be able to turn out a better
product. Our young men must meet
those of France and Germany and Eng
land in the contests OF peace on an
equal footing and show themselves in no
respect inferior.
