Notes from Cornell.

Several important changes have taken place in the Cornell faculty this year. Prof, Horatio S. White has been appointed dean. The chair of political economy will be filled by Prof. E. B. Andrews, formerly of Brown University. Prof. E. H. Bristol of Hamilton and Dr. Elmer of John Hopkins have been elected assistant professors of Greek and Latin. Prof. B. I. Wheeler succeeds Prof. Flagg in the Greek department and Profs. Hewett and Dudley resume their work after a year's absence in Europe. The central station of the New York department of the United States Signal Service is to be located at Cornell. About $250,000 will be spent on the new library, which will be one of the largest and best equipped in the country, having room for 400,000 volumes. It is expected that the class of '92 will have more than four hundred members.
