NOTES

Prof. Frank A. Updyke, whose plan for his Sabbatical year's leave from the College was changed because of the unexpected needs of the department of Political Science, now expects to be away during the second semester of the present year. He plans to spend a part of that period in study at Washington, and next May is to give a course of ten lectures—the Albert Shaw Lectures—on Diplomatic History at the Johns Hopkins University. Probably he will spend the next summer in Europe.

Portraits of the late Chief Justice Alonzo P. Carpenter and the late Hon. Albert S. Batchellor, the gifts of their children, have been hung in the superior court room at Woodsville.

Dr. Charles J. Hilkey, instructor in the Department of Political Science during the last three years, who has been pursuing his professional studies in the Law School of the University of Michigan since Commencement, will resume his work in the College for the second semester of the current academic year.

Readers of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will remember in the issue of February 1912, an article by Professor Harlow S. Person on "Academic and Industrial Efficiency", in which he discusses at some length the report by Mr. Morris Llewellyn Cooke on the same subject to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Learning. Another article by Professor Person on "Academic Efficiency" has recently appeared in pamphlet form as a reprint from the Bulletin for the Promotion of Engineering Education. This article will appear in whole or in part in a later number, of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

The long awaited second volume of "The History of Dartmouth College", which covers the eventful period from 1815 to 1910, is announced for publication December 15. As stated in the advertisement which appears in' this number, the edition is limited. In view of the cost of publication, the number to be printed was very closely figured. It is not impossible that there will be more orders than books. A demand like that for football tickets when a big game is on would clean out every copy in less than ten minutes.

Among recent contributions to the magazines, is an article by President Emeritus Tucker, in the October number of the Atlantic Monthly, on "The Goal of 'Equality", and one by Professor Patten on "A Problem in Evolution" in the May issue of the Popular Science Monthly.
