NEW CATALOGUE PUBLISHED AND NEW COURSES ANNOUNCED

The new catalogue of the College which came from the press January 1, contains few changes save for simplification in arrangement of material and the substitution of' a light gray cover stock for the traditional green. Several new courses are listed in the new elective schedule chief among these being a new course in Political Science called "The National Administration of the United States," a new course in Geography offered by the Department of Geology and Mineralogy, and a course on "The Art of the Book" to be given by the department of Modern Art.

Political Science 53, "The National Administration of the United States," will take up the development of the President's cabinet, the work of the executive departments and other administrative agencies such as the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Tariff Commission. This is a course that is given only in the large universities Two instructors have been added to the department this year giving a total of six so this additional course can be given. Professor H. R. Bruce will teach the subject.

The new course in Geography, known as Geology 6, intends to show the relation between man and land, how the conditions of one influence those of the other and vice versa. There are no prerequisites for the course as it as elementary and intended as an introduction to other courses which will probably be announced next year. Prof. D E. Elston will teach this course.

Harold G. Rugg, Assistant Librarian, will rive the new course entitled the "Art of the Book" in the Department of Modern Art. The course, which treats the introduction of printing, the history of famous presses, book binding, book plates, and book illustrations, will be given with reference to the history of the book in the United States, England, France, Italy and Germany. Since most men read books all their lives without proper appreciation of the art of the book, this course is offered to remedy this deficiency.

Alumni having old books, illustrations, or other material which could be used in this course will aid the work greatly if they can loan these things to Mr. Rugg.
