The University Catalogue for 1900-'01, which has just appeared, is the same as usual in general form and contains 734 pages, an increase of eighteen over last year. Following are the enrolment figures to date, compared with those of last year: The Philip Washburn prize of seventy-five dollars, founded by Mrs. Mary E. Washburn in memory of her son, Philip Washburn '82, is new this year. It will be awarded for the best thesis on a historical subject written by a successful candidate for honors in History or Political Science. The Charles Eliot Norton Fellowship in Greek Studies and the South End House Fellowship appears in the catalogue for the first time. A traveling fellowship in Botany for 1900-1901 is announced. Four Edward Austin Fellowships for graduates are offered to take the place of the Morgan Fellowships, now discontinued. The Scholarship of the Harvard Club of St. Louis, also for graduates, with an income of $300, is the only new scholarship. Under Fees and Expenses, this new rule appears: Beginning with the academic year 1901-1902, a fee of twenty dollars will be charged all students taking the degree of Ph. D., S. D., A. M., or S. M., and those taking the degree of A. B. or S. B. in one, two, or three years." The catalogue, in cloth binding, is now for sale at the book stores. The price is seventy-five cents.
