Improvements in the University of Pennsylvania.

The new catalogue of the University of Pennsylvania shows many additional improvements over former years. The course in Greek has been greatly extended. The Law School course has been extended to three years, and an additional year has been added to the course in medicine. After 1892 the degree of A. M. will only be conferred upon an actual examination by the Faculty of Philosophy, after at least one year of post-graduate duty. An advance is also noticed in the department of philosophy. The catalogue shows a total of 169 professors and 1,222 students, an increase of 17 professors and 35 students over last year. In the college proper are 48 professors and 445 students.
