fourteen months' stay abroad. He re
turned to America in AuguBt and spent

stitutions of learning. Ho was grant

Conservatory Notes.

Mr. Randolph, who resigned last
spring, is teaching In New York City.
The campus in general has been one
of the most beautiful spots about the
city during the suminer. The decora
tive beds of plants were the moBt
marked Improvement and did much to
increase tho general appearance at
tho campus.
A new walk has been laid In front
of the chemistry building.
Until a new commandant arrives at
the university Major Burke M. Hall

STUDENTS ARE SLOW
Registration of Last Years Third
Day Ahead Suggested Cause
of Light Matriculation
-future Lawyers.
Tho same continuous lino of students
passed before tho desks of the register
ing clerks all day yesterday. Tho work
Is being minimized and abridged as
carefully as possible and Is therefore
dispatched with little confusion. The
organization of the new office force
and tho new way of registering Is due
In most part to the untiring ofTor.ts of
Mr. 8hedd, tho registrar.
Tho comparative results of this and
last year's registration on tho third
day Ib ns follows:
1901 1902
Matriculations 304 28G
3rd day's matriculations 102 93
Registrations 673 597
3rd day's registrations 331 309
It will be observed that the num
bers of the two years in comparison
shovr a slight advantage with last year.
Tho students arc either slow about
registering or will not come up to the
mark in point of attendance with last
year. It Is reported that tho largest
percentage of new studonts Is from the
city schools. It seems that Blnco the
advertlsomcnt of the increased en
trance requirements there Is more hes
itation about entering tho university
from those districts whero tnoro are
not fully accredited high schools. Pre
vious to registration week the indica
tions pointed to the largest attendance
In the history of the university, but re
sults during the last three days aro be
ginning to cast a different light on the
real stato of affairs.
Tho law school registration must also
be account for as it is for tho first
time opened to registration with the
regular academic students. Flfty-Bix
registration cards have been Issued by
Dean Reese up to the present time. As
the lawyers have not registered so
early heretofore some slight delay may
easily be accounted for In that depart
ment. Course in Foresty.
In answer to a number of inquiries,
it may be stated authoritatively that
ordinary graduates of tho general
scientific and the biological groups can
complete the course In forestry after
two additional years of study. By
judicious selection of subjects for
election the students in the general
scientific group can secure the forestry
degree one year abter obtaining his
degree of Bachelor of Science. It is
the Intention of the faculty to allow
a few necessary substitutions of studies
for tho benefit of graduates who wish
to enter the work in forestry. The.de
mand for trained men Is so great that
it is desirablo to meet It as early as
possible.
