Indiana University.

We are in receipt of the catalogue of Indiana University for 1897-’9B. There are 64 members of the Faculty, representing 37 of the best educational institutions of Europe and America, and they offer work in 19 departments comprising 256 courses. The growth of the University during recent years has been rapid and for the first time in its history the attendance exceeds 1000. University year of 1897 and 1898 ninety of the ninety-two counties were represented and during the calendar years of 1897 and 1898 every county in Indiana had students in attendance. While the applications for admission for next year are more numerous than ever before it is probable that the present equipment and the additional requirements for entrance will make it desirable to limit the number to a thousand in 1898-9. Following are the names and addresses of the students from , this county who were in attendance at the University during the last year: From Rensselaer —Miss Edith Marshall, Messrs. Moses Leopold, Raymond D. Thompson, Frederick S. Tyler, Robert M. Vanatta. From Remington —Misses Florence Hawkins, Frances Hawkins, Lulu Hawn, Orpha Timmons, Elvira Yeoman, Messrs. William J.
