by the stockholders and partly by the alumni 

 ■who purchased the stock not donated. The 

 medical school has for several years held a 

 contractual relationship with the University 

 of Illinois, but that relationship was cancelled 

 last spring. By the present transfer of all 

 the stock, however, the medical school becomes 

 an organic department of the university. 



An administrative committee of the faculty 

 of the Johns Hopkins University has been 

 appointed by the trustees to conduct the affairs 

 of the university until a president is ap- 

 pointed. The chairman is Dr. William H. 

 Welch, and the other members are Professors 

 B. L. Gildersleeve, W. W. Willoughby, W. B. 

 Clark, J. S. Ames, W. H. Howell and E. H. 

 Griffin. 



De. J. W. W. Stephens has been appointed 

 to the Sir Alfred Jones Chair of Tropical 

 Medicine at Liverpool University, vacant 

 through the resignation of Sir Ronald Ross, 

 who has gone to live in London. 



DISCUSSION AND COBBESPONDENCE 



IINIVEESITY REGISTRATION STATISTICS 



To THE Editor or Science: Unfortunately 

 I was unable to see the proof of my contribu- 

 tion on " University Registration Statistics " 

 to your issue of December 27, 1912, and, as a 

 result, several errors have crept into the com- 

 pilation which I desire to correct herewith. 



Since the detailed figures for the University 

 of Nebraska were not available at the time the 

 article went to press, this institution was 

 omitted from the table, consequently the ref- 

 ferences in the body of the article should be 

 to twenty-eight instead of to twenty-nine 

 institutions. The missing Nebraska figures 

 are as follows : college, men, 464 ; college, 

 women, 617; agriculture, 328; art, 19; for- 

 estry, 64; graduate school (non professional), 

 164; law, 222; medicine, 159; pedagogy, 148; 

 pharmacy, 32; scientific schools, 376. After 

 deducting the double registration of 110, it 

 leaves a total fall registration on November 1, 

 1912, of 2,483. Of the 486 summer session 

 students, 158 returned in the fall, giving a 

 grand total of 2,811 students for the year. 



The fall total at the University of Oali- 

 fornia is 4,585, and not 4,741; and that of 

 Columbia is 6,148 and not 6,153. The dagger 

 after " extension and similar courses " under 

 the University of California should be a plus 

 sign. The grand totals at Columbia should 

 read as follows: 1912: 9,002, 1911: 7,938, 

 1910: 7,411, 1909: 6,132, 1908: 5,677, 1903: 

 4,557. 



The Indiana figures should read as follows: 

 College, men, 709; college, women, 438; art, 

 45; graduate school, %; journalism, 67; law, 

 108; medicine, 140; music, 58; pedagogy, 144; 

 deduct double registration, 354; total, 1,423; 

 sununer session, 1,197; deduct 280 students 

 who returned for work in fall; grand total, 

 2,340. Both Indiana and Nebraska should be 

 omitted on page 889 among those institutions 

 which have more than 1,400 students registered 

 in the college. 



The Johns Hopkins grand total for Novem- 

 ber 1, 1912, should read 944, and that for 1911, 

 1,120. 



At the University of Minnesota the item of 

 double registration should read 175, instead 

 of 319, thus making the grand total 3,737. 

 This grand total is exclusive of 1,326 students 

 registered in " extension and similar courses," 

 but this latter category of students was in- 

 cluded in the figures for 1903 and for 1908- 

 1911. 



The grand total enrollment at the Univer- 

 sity of Texas for November 1, 1909, was 2,512, 

 1908: 2,410, 1903: 1,309.
