Favor the Modern Language.

An Interesting point has been brought out In regard to the elective chosen by the freshmen at Wellesley College this year, and that there Is a decided Increase In favor of the modern languages. Members of the class may choose two electives from the following subjects: Greek, Latin, German, French, English, botany, chemistry, physics, zoology, English literature, and courses, one or two, in history. Out of a class of over 800 this year the electives are about 72 per cent In language, 22 per cent of this being Greek and Latin, 50 per cent modern language, and of the remainder about 20 per cent In science.—New York Tribune.
