President Schurman's second animal report shows t lic prosperous and satisfactory eondition of Cornell l'niversity in the yeare of 1893-1894. ïlie total number of enrolled was 1,801, a gain of 101 over tlie attendance of the preceding year. Of the 1801 regular studente, 225 were women. New York sent 1,003. I 'resident Sclmrman calis attention to the large number of positions in American Universities recently filled }y Cornell graduates. He gives a list containing the natnes of seventy-five instructors, which are distributed in forty colleges and universities, among which are such representative institutions as Harvard, Johne Hopkins, Chicago, Yale, Wellesley and California. In discussing the important c han ges in the curriculum, which were made last year, President Schurman shows the striking tendency in American Universities to cut down the time assigned to Greek. He gives a valuable series of tables showing the exact amount of time devoted to Latin and Greek in forty representative institutions. His conclusión is that in the long run it is pretty certain to le decided that Greek is not an absolutely esseutial subject in all iberal education.
