PROFESSOR NORTON WITHDRAWS,

News.
{Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.]
Cambridge, February 21.—At the end
of the present College year, Dr. Charles
Eliot Norton will retire from the De-
partment of Fine Arts, in which he
has offered courses which have long
been the most popular of any in the >
College.
Professor Norton has been connected
with the University since 1875, and his >
courses on Ancient and Medieval Art.
have given to the Department of Fine
Arts at Harvard a prestige which simi-
lar departments in other universities
have not enjoyed. In retiring from
the Department, Professor Norton does
not sever his connection with the Uni-
versity, as was incorrectly reported in
the press last week. He will continue
to offer an advanced course on Litera-
ture and Fine Arts in Italy during the
Middle Ages and the Renaissance; with
special study of Dante.
MARSHALL NEWELL ‘MEMORIAL.
A committee of recent graduates will
undertake to secure funds for the erec-
tion of a permanent memorial to Mar-
shall Newell. A letter has been ad-
dressed to those alumni who, it is
thought, will be interested in the ob-
ject. It is suggested that a gate be
erected, if sufficient funds are contrib-
uted, to bear his name. Commenting
on his connection with the University
and the fitness of an appropriate memo-
rial, the Crimson says: “He entered
College in ’o1 practically unknown. It
may be truthfully said that at his
death, but seven years later, few were
so universally known and loved by
Harvard men.” : :
PHYSICAL TRAINING CONFERENCE.
An interesting conférence has been
arranged for next Wednesday evening
by the two debating societies, the
Forum and the Union, to discuss the
advisability of establishing a course in
Physical Culture at Harvard. Three
of the chief disputants have been se-
lected. These are President W. ~De-
Witt Hyde of Bowdoin College, Dr.
Henry P. Bowditch of the Harvard
Medical School, and Dr. Dudley Q.
Sargent, head of the Physical Culture
Department of the University. The
fourth disputant will probably be a
representative of the College Faculty.
The arguments by the four chief dis-
putants will be followed by an open dis-
cussion.
ATHLETIC NEWS OF THE WEEK.
The successful termination of the
negotiations for a three-cornered boat
race came as a pleasant surprise to the
students here.
-and Norman Macleod Burrell,
The number of candidates for the
Crew is large and there will be less
time devoted to first principles than
was necessarily the case last season.
The students look for a vindication of
the English stroke next June. The call
for candidates for the class crews last
Monday meta hearty response. Thirty-
two men presented themselves for the
Senior crew and are being coached by
G. S. Mumford, assisted by Captain
Goodrich, J. H. Perkins and H. Adams
of the University Crew. The Juniors
are fifty-one in number. Nelson Per-
kins will be the coach. The 1900 Crew
has fifty-two aspirants besides last
year’s Freshman eight. J. J. Storrow
will serve as their coach. The Fresh-
man squad has been at work since
Christmas. The number is still about
seventy. (Ha €: Storrow and RM.
Townsend will be in charge.

the baseball team are representing Har-
vard at the athletic conference at Provi-
dence. Captain Dibblee of the football
eleven has applied to the Athletic Com-
mittee for a new football trainer for
next fall. This step is taken owing to
the poor success during the past few —
years in keeping the players in good
physical condition.
The University baseball squad began
work last Monday. Twenty-three men
are in training, exclusive of the battery
candidates. The men will take a South-

M. Doumic to Lecture.
Arrangements have at last been com-
pleted for a lecture by M. Rene Doumic
under the auspices of the French
department of the University. The
subject of the lecture will be “Alphonse
Daudet,” and although no definite date
has been decided upon, the lecture will
take place in the early part of March
in the intermission between the two lec-
tures before the “Cercle Francais” at
Harvard. The expenses of this lecture
have been covered by a private sub-
scription among the French students.
M. Doumic is the noted literateur
and influential critic of “Le Theatre
Contemporaire.” Among his literary
achievements may be mentioned “De
Scribe a Ibsen,” a criticism of various
phases of the theater, “Ecrivains
D’Aujourd’hui,” “Portraits D’Ecri-
vains,” “Les Jeunes,” “Etudes sur La
Literature Francaise,’ and ‘La Vie et
Les Mceurs au Jour Le Jour.
The lecture is open to all who wish
to avail themselves of the opportunity.
The place where it will be held will be
announced later.
The contract for publishing next
year’s Banner has been awarded to John
Lewis Evans, ’99, of Haverford, Pa.,

New York City.
