stnictor, who accepted a position in Cornell University, not because the 

 salary was better, for it was not, but because while teaching in Coimell 

 he himself could take some advanced work. Mr. Bonner leaves me tliis 

 year for a similar reason. These are but two of several instances which 

 I could name. I see no reason why we should work longer under this 

 handicap. Nothing whatever seems to be gained by it; much is lost. 

 Why should we not line up with Washiugton State College, Iowa State 

 College and Cornell University? These agricultural colleges, each the 

 best in its part of the United States, place English in a position of influ- 

 ence which is denied to it here. I venture to urge therefore that when the 

 catalog for 1922-23 is published the subject of English be listed among 

 the majors offered in our new Division — listed, that is, with physics, 

 history and the other scientific and non-scientific subjects now officially 

 recognized as major subjects in this institution.
