The university is fortunate in getting him back at this time. Miss Sophia Sheeks lias been transferred by the Local Board to an assistant place in the Library, and Mr. Henry S.

It is seldom that any man makes so great a ma;;k on those with whom he comes in contact. As Registrar he will LI! necessity come in contact with every student in the university. The University is to be congratulated on securing for this position a man of such rare promises. The many friends of Henry Bates in Bloomington and the alumni of Indiana University all over the State will be pleased to hear of the appointment.
