 American exchange fellow to Paris, to benefit by the fellowship 

 offered in return by the French ministry of public instruction, is 

 made on the recommendation of the president of Harvard Univer- 

 sity. The incumbents have been George Wallace Umphrey,

 wood, 1905-6; Arthur Fisher Whittem, 1906-7; Warren Barton 

 Blake, 1907-8; Samuel Montefiore Waxman, 1908-9. The same 

 conditions govern the incumbent of this fellowship as those of the

 By way of reciprocity, there are now the University of Paris:

 3 The proposed foundation by some American bankers and finan-

 History and Outline of American Law; lectures in French, in 

 1904-5, by Charles F. Beach, Jr., a noted American lawyer and 

 student of economic problems.
