No student who has been. officially warned will be allowed to act as an officer or member of any athletic or musical organization, or be connected with any University periodical until he has been informed by the Faculty that his standing is satis- factory. “More serious deficiencies or irregu- larities may lead to probation. A _ stu- dent on probation is in danger of re- moval from his class or from the School without further warning. While on probation, he will not be allowed the usual privilege of absences, he will not be promoted to a higher class; and, if he -is a Senior, he will not be recom- mended for a degree at Commencement. At any time when his attendance and scholarship have become satisfactory, a student may be restored to full stand- ing by vote of the Faculty. “Paragraph 16, amended to read as follows: No student will be allowed to act as officer or member of any athletic or musical organization or be connected with any University periodical, if he is under official warning for low standing, or irregularity of attendance, if he is repeating work with a lower class, or if he is on probation. “No member of the Freshman Class, who has more than three entrance con- ditions is eligible for membership in such organizations. The eligibility of those students having three conditions or less in entrance subjects will be decided on the basis of their general standing dur- ing the first five weeks and thereafter. “By order of the Governing Board of the Sheffield Scientific School. RussELL H. CHITTENDEN, Director. THE OLD SECTIONS. The paragraphs changed formerly read as follows: “2.

A student whose scholarship, at- tendance, or conduct is unsatisfactory may, at any time, by vote of the Faculty, be put on probation.

Dr. Harvws Gift to Peabody Museum. Rev. Dr. Burdett Hart, Yale ’42, on Tuesday of last week, deposited in Pea- body Museum a cast of the head of the dodo, taken from the relic in the Ash- molean Museum at Oxford. There are but few relics of this extinct bird. In the British Museum is a leg and in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford are a head and leg. Captain Cook speaks of the bird as having been very numer- ous in some of the islands of the South Seas. Several casts in plaster were taken a few years ago of the head in- the Ashmolean Museum, and were de- posited in the various centers of Eu- rope. This cast, the last, was given to Dr. Hart by the Curator of the Ash- molean Museum, on condition that he would carry it to America. The gift is very much appreciated. a> I ee Summer Meeting of American Forestry Association. The American Forestry Association, in affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, will hold the principal Summer meeting of 1900 in New York City, June 25 and 26. “Advantageous rates have been secured at certain hotels in New York City and on railroads running into the city. The various scientific and educational insti- tutions will be open to members at all times during the week. All inquiries concerning this meeting should be addressed to Mr. Otto J. J. Luebkert, Washington, D. C. ; > a a NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS. Betts Academy. BASEBALL. The baseball record of Betts Academy of Stamford, Conn., up to date is as follows, the score of Betts being given first in each case: April 18, Betts vs. Stamford High school, 17 to 3; April 21, against Co- lumbia 1903, 9 to 14; April 28, against Tafts School, 5 to 5; May 5, against Princeton Preparatory School, 8 to 19; May 9, against Hillhouse High School, 28 to 1; May 12, against Invincibles of Fordham, 14 to 3; May 15, against Yale 1903, 6 to 16; May 16, against Yale Scrub, 11 to 13; May 23, against New York Military Academy, 11 to 2; May 30, against Fanwood Athletic Associa- tion, 14 to 8; ° June 2, against Yale Scrub, Ir to Io. On June 6, the Academy plays with the Pratt Institute of Stamford, and June 9 with the Yale Scrub Nine at Stamford. This record shows that the Nine has played very erratic baseball. Against the Columbia Freshmen the worst kind of an exhibition was given. The Tafts game was a fair exhibition of good Preparatory School play. The Tafts were especially effective with their pitching and won from the Yale Fresh- man by a score of 5 to 2. On the other hand, the Yale Freshmen had the Acad- emy breaking the record in number of errors, making thirteen in all. At the same time, the Freshmen were outbatted by the Betts Nine, who made thirteen hits. The Yale Scrub team which played Betts so closely contained a num- ber of Yale second team players. It is not an easy thing to secure nine good baseball players from an academy of fifty members. Newman, Olcott, Wolfe and McLuick remained from last year’s nine, and their work was princi- pally responsible for such records as have been made. A coach is very badly needed. Newman has proved an excel- lent captain as well as a pitcher. Ol- cott, at short stop, has shown good head work. NOTES. The following men enter Yale next Fall from tHe Academy: Charles L. Howes of Stamford, Conn.; E. R. Whipple of Whitinville, Mass.; H. E. Newman of Lakewood, N. J.; Mestre Olcott of New York City; L. Sola of Havana, Cuba; Howard J. Dow of Jamestown, N. Y. W. A.
