H. F. M. Bear was obliged to return to his home in P.ola this week. He had ventured out too soon after suffering from the influenza. We hope his illness may not prove serious.

Prof. Dunlap gave the Freshmen a talk on literary societies Friday, in the English class. He is thoroughly interested in the matter and expresses himself as greatly surprised that out of a class of sixty, so few are identified with literary societies.

The report of the Commissioner of Education for the year of 1887-88 is received. The report is voluminous, the volume consisting of 1200 pages.

Blackmar, formerly of California, now of the University of Kansas, Prof. Blackmar prepared at the request of the Bureau of Education, and under the supervision of Dr. H. B. Adams, of John Hopkins University, a monograph upon the subject "Federal and State Aid to Higher Education in the United States," Commissioner Dawson, in the report, speaks in high praise of the comprehensive research, and in letter of Feb. 19th, 1889 to the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner recommends the publication of the monograph. Prof. Blackmar has shown himself energetic and earnest in the prosecution of his work here and has gained in a remarkable degree, considering the short time of his connection with the University, the good will and unqualified respect of the students.—Journal.

Baker University.
State Journal: Barlow Lippincott, son of ex-Chancellor Lippincott, and a University graduate (class of '86), has just received from Secretary Noble, of the department of the interior, the appointment of assistant topographer in the U. S. geological survey. This is a deserved promotion, and was warmly recommended by Maj. Powell and Professor Thompson of the survey. Barlow Lippincott is a hard worker and full of enthusiasm, and his many friends will expect to hear still better things from him.
The sub-committee of the University Athletic Association having decided that the best way to raise the necessary funds from among the students was to select a larger committee of twenty five from the University to work personally among the students. Accordingly such a committee of students was requested by Prof. Max Winkler to meet in the French room last Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. About eighteen were present and Prof. Winkler laid the plan before them. It is, as you have already found out to circulate subscription lists among the students and endeavor to raise the sum of $700. This would average about $1.50 from each student. The faculty are subscribing a large sum, and the Regents also will subscribe, in addition to voting whatever funds may be in the University treasury, not otherwise appropriated. The committee selected to do this work of raising the subscriptions, is chosen so as to give all sections of the University a representation. The committee is enthusiastic and it only remains now for you students to show your interest in your University, and to express it forcibly "Plank down your cash."
Prof. W.A. Quayle was Wednesday elected vice-president of Baker University by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees. This will probably place him at the head of the institution when Dr. Gobin assumes his duties at DePauw University.
Unity Club.
