Professor Shaler's Foreign Trip.

Professor N. S. Shaler '62, Dean of the Scientific School, sailed from Boston on January 2, for Egypt, where he will remain until about March 1. He will go up the Nile to Khartoum, and perhaps, if the conditions are favorable, will take some caravan trip. He will then travel in Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and the north coast of Africa, probably returning to America before Commencement. He is accompanied by Mrs. Shaler.

During Professor Shaler's absence, Assistant Professor J. L. Love, Secretary of the Scientific School, will act for him in all administrative matters related to the Scientific School. The following professors will replace Professor Shaler as chairman of committees: on the Committee of Admission from other Scientific Schools, Assistant Professor Love; on the Committee of Advisors to Scientific Students, Professor H. L. Warren; on the Committee on the Studies of the Scientific School, Professor Mark; on the Committee on Summer Courses of Instruction, Professor Hanus.
