 department. 



Tufts College receives $50,000 by the will 

 Mary F. Stearns. The Tuskegee Institute, the 

 Hampton School and Berea College are to di- 

 vide $50,000 and the residuary estate. 



Mr. Carnegie promised recently to sub- 

 scribe £25,000 to the building fund of the 

 Glasgow Technical College on condition that an 

 equal sum was raised from other sources. At 

 the last meeting of the council the chairman an- 

 nounced that he had received two anonymous 

 donations of £25,000 and £10,000 and other 

 sums, making a total of £44,000. The fund, 

 including Mr. Carnegie's subscription, now 

 amounts to nearly £170,000. 



Through the generosity of the Frazer family 

 a fellowship in physics (value $10,000) has 

 been established in the University of Pennsyl- 

 vania in honor of John Fries Frazer, former 

 professor of natural philosophy in that institu- 

 tion. This fellowship as well as the Hector 

 Tyndale Fellowship in the same subject are 

 now open for application. 



The Thaw fellowship in astronoroy at 

 Princeton University, carrying $500 a year 

 and open to any graduate of not more than five 

 years' standing from an accredited American 

 college, becomes vacant at the close of the pres- 

 ent academic year. Applications for it should 

 be sent in before the first of May, addressed to 

 the professor of astronomy. 



The dedication of Cunningham Hall and the 

 Van "Wormer Library of the University of Cin- 

 cinnati will take place in the spring. The 

 building of the Technical School is nearing 

 completion. 



The registration at Harvard University this 

 year and last is as follows : 1900. 1901.

There is thus an increase of 42 students in 

 the Lawrence Scientific School, but a decrease 

 in the other departments, except the Divinity 

 School. The decrease in the Medical School 

 is explained by the fact that this year the bach- 

 elor's degree or its equivalent is required for 

 entrance. To the above figures should be 

 added, in order to represent the entire univer- 

 sity influence, the following : 



1900. 1901.
