104 THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY 
a foreign member of the Berlin Acad- 
emy of Sciences. 
FOLLOWING the advice of its advisory 
board, the Wistar Institute of Anat- 
omy has established a department of 
embryology, and Professor G. Carl 
Huber, of the University of Michigan, 
has been called to this chair. 
By the will of Isaac C. Wyman, of 
Salem, Mass., a graduate of Princeton 
College, most of his estate is be- 
queathed to Princeton University, to be 
used for a graduate school. Mr. John 
M. Raymond, of Salem, Mass., and Pro- 
fessor Andrew F. West, dean of the 
Graduate School, are the trustees. The 
value of the bequest is estimated at 
$3,000,000. Mr. W. ©. Procter has re- 
newed his gift of $500,000 for the 
Graduate College. A great graduate 
school is thus assured at Princeton. 


Ar a meeting of the trustees of the 
General Education Board, held on May 
24 in New York City, $682,450 in ap- 
propriations was voted. Of this sum 
$538,000 was appropriated condition- 
ally for the endowment funds of eight 
colleges, $113,000 for the furtherance 
of demonstration work in agriculture 
throughout the southern states, and 
$31,450 for the salaries and expenses 
of special professors of secondary edu- 
cation in the several state universities 
of the south. The appropriations 
voted in support of college endow- 
ments raised to $5,177,500 the sum 
already spent in this direction. The 
seventy colleges that have received 
these endowments during the last four 
years of the board’s activities have 
each raised sums in endowment which, 
taken with the board’s gifts, aggregate 
$23,670,500.
