The general regulations published by this institution will undoubtedly attract considerable attention on account of the many new features that will be introduced. Instead of the customary three months' suspension of work during the summer, the year is divided, for the purpose of instruction, into four quarters, beginning on the 1st day of October, January, April, and July, and continuing twelve weeks each, thus leaving a week between the end of one quarter and the beginning of the next. Each quarter is divided into two terms of six weeks each. Students will be allowed to take as vacation any one of the four quarters, or two terms of six weeks in different parts of the year. By attending four quarters per year, students will be able to complete the course in three years. The courses of instruction will be classified as majors and minors. The major will call for 10 to 12 hours of class-room work each week, the minor for 4 to 6 hours. All courses are to continue six weeks, but the same subject may be continued through two or more successive terms either as a major or a minor. The regulations regarding the teaching body will be fully appreciated by the members thereof. Each resident professor or teacher shall lecture thirty-six weeks of the year, 10 to 12 hours a week, and no instructor shall be required to lecture more than this amount. For any time that he may teach in addition to the three-quarters required, he shall receive either an extra two-thirds pro rata salary or an extra full pro rata vacation. A teacher who has taught three

years of 48 weeks each, or six years of 42 weeks each, will thus be entitled to a year's vacation on full salary.
