session enrollment and that of the regular 

 term. These, however, were not recorded. The 

 grand total, therefore, may not be comparable 

 ■with the totals of other universities. 



The 211 students in the scientific schools of 

 Washington University are divided between 

 courses in engineering and architecture, while 

 37 of the students in other courses are en- 

 rolled in the department of social economy and 

 the remainder, 271, are enrolled in the Satur- 

 day courses for teachers. 



Courses for teachers are offered this year in 

 Western Reserve University, and 92 teachers 

 in the public schools of Cleveland are en- 

 rolled. There are six students taking one class 

 in the College for Women in connection with 

 work in the Cleveland Art School. These are 

 not included in the statistics. 



The non-resident fee of the University of 

 Wisconsin was increased from $70 to $100 a 

 year, taking effect for the first time this fall. 

 Despite this increase the total registration ex- 

 clusive of the summer-session enrollment is 

 4,874 as against 4,450 last year. 



The Yale University statistics in art do not 

 include 86 enrolled in other departments. Of 

 the 371 in the Graduate School, 89 are taking 

 special teachers' courses. There are 67 stu- 

 dents enrolled in other departments not in- 

 cluded in the statistics for music. Yale Uni- 

 Tersity has no summer-session except for the 

 regular summer work done in connection with 

 certain classes in forestry and engineering. 

 The principal changes in registration from 

 last year are the increase in the College, 

 School of Eeligion, Law School, and the de- 

 crease in the School of Fine Arts and the 

 Sheffield Scientific School. In the School of 

 Fine Arts the decrease is due to the new ad- 

 mission requirements and in the Sheffield 

 School is due partially to the increase in tui- 

 tion fees. John C. Burg

The passing of a man like Minot leaves us, 

 his friends, sad and filled with sorrow that so 



significant a life should be thus swiftly ended. 

 One feels as when he hears of some vanishing 

 form — ^that just such a creature can hardly 

 come again, for the personality of the unusual 

 man is no less unique and he does not reap- 

 pear. Yet so long as those who knew Minot 

 live, so long as what he planned and thought 

 persists to mould the purposes of those who 

 follow, so long will his power stretch like the 

 wave that seems to fade but really is extended. 



Perhaps Minot was intimate with some 

 men who were his seniors; I doubt not Henry 

 Bowditch was his confidant, but among his 

 contemporaries he seldom showed his thoughts 

 or his emotions in the making. Such inti- 

 macies he did not cultivate. 



Careful and scrupulous, even in the minor 

 ways of life, the impression which he left was 

 of a man always sensitive to his surroundings 

 — keenly alive to the interests of the greater 

 world, seeing life largely, but ever fastidious 

 and fine in the formulation of the thoughts 

 that occupied his active mind. All life for 

 him was purposeful and very interesting. 

 Few men, »pon occasion, could speak more 

 aptly in appreciation of a scientific friend. 



Well balanced gifts of a high order, a sound 

 training, stimulating social contacts and 

 ample means were his. As one looks back 

 over the past thirty-five years, Minot is to be 

 found among the first movers in each effort 

 for biological advance: everywhere he took 

 part both with insight and with foresight. 

 The beginnings of the Society of Naturalists 

 — that first effort to bring the working biolo- 

 gists of the newer school together — find him 

 in the van. The American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science, the Marine Bio- 

 logical Laboratory are both indebted to him, 

 and his administration of the Elizabeth 

 Thompson fund remains a model of aid to the 

 efficient. 



The honors that belong to such a man came 

 to him generously and steadily yet were al- 

 ways somehow transmuted into public service 

 for the biological world. His European train- 

 ing in the early years included study in the 

 never-to-be-forgotten laboratory of Carl Lud- 

 wig, and work with that solitary master, Han-
