The students are divided among the several courses as follows:Engineering, 46; literary scientific, 25; agricultural, 15; classical,14; chemists, 8; commerce and economics, 4; special, 3. Severalchanges have been made in the faculty, by which we lose somevery able professors. Prof. C. E. Seaman, Dr. H. A. Torrey, Dr. H,A. Eaton and Prof, A. D. Butterfield are succeeded by Dr. CharlesA. Mixter, George Burrowes, Nathaniel C. Griffin and George M.Brett, respectively, G. E, Howes, professor of Greek, who has beenat Athens during the past year, has returned. Prof. C. B. Stetson,who taught Greek in his absence, will teach German this year in thecourse taught by T. E. Hamilton last year.Football prospects for this year are very bright. Although but sixold men returned, we believe that, with good practice, our team willbe very satisfactory. Bros. Newton, '05, and Ramsey, '06, are two ofthe old men and played in the game against Yale yesterday. Bro.Briggs, '04, was the most promising candidate for guard, but owingto sickness has been obliged to abandon the game. Bro. Morse, '01,is assistant coach.Of thetwenty-two men left after commencement, last year, eighteenhave returned to college this fall. Bro. Orton, '04, has also returnedand is kept very busy as general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Hewill enter the medical department in January. Bro. Pierce, '04, iswith the B. & M. railroad as engineer. Bro. Carpenter is with a telephonecompany in New York. The vacancy left by last year's graduatingclass is somewhat filled by pledging new men. We havepledged seven men to date and are considering others.Our new house was described in the June SCROLL. We are nowvery nicely settled in it and find it quite convenient. With a fewchanges made during the summer by our hustling and enthusiasticalumni, it has been made a splendid chapterhouse.
