President McCosh of Princeton has just presented his annual report to the trustees. Several points in it are of general college interest: The proposed extension of the Department of Philosophy is, says Dr. McCosh, Progressing favorably. The number of advanced students in that department this year has been large, and it is expected to increase with the opening of the next season. Dr. McCosh says the department will be the most complete of any college in America or any other country, except Germany. The faculty is making a new distribution of studies, required by the addition of new branches. An effort is being made to erect a building for the accommodation of the Art School, at an expense of $40,000, to enable work in that department to begin in September. The plan devised by the committee of Eastern colleges for avoiding excesses in intercollegiate athletics was laid before the board and adopted, with a statement that Harvard had done likewise. The president announced that a number of lectures would be delivered in the college this year on pedagogics, with a view of training teachers. He reported that the college was in a very quiet state, there being a good amount of study and much religious feeling.
