I was called home only three or four days ago by the serious illness of baby Kellogg-pneumonia. Prof. Nichols and I finished thirteen out of the fourteen chapters in Vol. III so that our work was pretty well along. $ ^{*} $ I hope the Legislature may change their attitude towards the University.
I have followed the developments with much concern."
A recent letter from Irving R. Rothrock, '94, contains something of interest concerning University people that have become sugar chemists in Louisiana.

He was married in August of 1895 to Miss Anna Thomas of Sylvan, Pa. Irving H. Morse,'91 and Chas.S. McFarland, 90, are also sugar chemists at Burnside. The colony is expecting Prof.E.C.

Three University graduates are taking the medical course at the University of Pennsylvania, J. V. May,'94, B. M. Dickinson,'95, and John D. Miller,'95, E. F. Robinson,'93, M. D., U. of Penn.,'95, is taking a course in the auxiliary Department of Medicine and is a resident physician at the Philadelphia Hospital.

B. M. Dickinson is secretary of the same organization—it looks like a deal. Other University people, not graduates, at Penn., are M. M. Snow and John H. Outland both 1900 men in Medicine. Outland was captain of the scrub eleven last fall and is trying for catcher of the base-ball team this spring; ineligible however until after first year exams. Rev. J. A.
