DARTMOUTH SUMMER SCHOOL Reorganisation Virtually Effected Changes of Noto Reorganisation of tho Dirtnoutli susnsnor school, which wae provided for In recent appropriation of tho trustees and which waa left to tho general supervision of President Nichole, has besn Intrusted by the Utter to Professor Walter Van Dyke Bingham. of tho psychology department. Professor Bingham had considers bis experience in the management of summer schools before he came to Dartmouth In tho fan of 1910 having been associated with similar schools at Chicago; Columbia and Chautau-qua. Ha has already prepared plans which Indicate that the summer -school will in tho future be on the same plane with the college In requirements and In courses offered. Several changes have been made in the plans for tho summer session which will deny entrance to students aiming merely to repeat courses failed in the regular colic ge session.

Professor Bingham has courses and instructors practically arranged which will be of special benefit to high school and elementary school teachers who arc seeking further education or advancement One Important change In the conduct of tho school will bo tho shortening of tho recitation periods from one and a. half hours six times a week for tho six weeks to one-hour periods. This will enable the student to gain credit for but taro Instead of three hours, as formerly. In subject but he will pursue not two, but three subjects. making total of six hours, tba same as In tho past Tho Important difference is that allowing hut taro hours In subject win make It Impossible for a student to make up three-hour courses which he has failed' in college session.

Although tho plans for tbo regular courses thua tend toward tba elimination of poor students, courses for deficient men will be given which will be recommended by tho various, departments. It la hoped that in this manner more of the deficient men may be eliminated for. the regular work of the college. Courses for this purpose, and arranged to earn three hours credit, will be given In elementary English, French, German, mathematics and few other subjects. The catalogue la now being prepared and will be announced probably on Feb.

1. MEDICAL SCHOOLS STEADILY RAISING STANDARDS College Training Now Required aa as Entrance Condition by Many Such Institutions Extension Work at Wisconsin and Simmons Gift of $100,000 for Cornell The Yeart Progress at the University of Maine News Notes from Many Colleges and Schools and Items of Interest The completion br Western Reserve of the milllon-doUar endowment is of Interest to the university as a material addition to Its funds and of Interest to the public as another indication of the steadily rlslnx standard of the medical schools of the country. When the Western Reserve Medical School decided In 1808 to demand chile so preparation as an entrance condition there mas but one other such Institution in the United States with the same hish requirement. The situation today is radically different. Of the nation's 128 medical schools.

41 now ask preparation In a college of arts and sciences and six more have recently announced similar requirements to become effective later. In nine States, either by statute, or by the ruling of the State Board of Medical Examiners, all medical graduates who have had no preliminary training in a college of arts and sciences will bo refused the privilege of entering tne examinations for licenses to practise. Five other States are now considering measures looking toward this same end. It seems that some fraternity pins are reposing amid rather ungracious surroundings. An investigation in New York disclosed the fact that pawnshops there had on sale forty-two such emblems, redemption being possible at a surprisingly low cost.

A Fhl Beta Kappa pin. symbolic of highest scholastic honors, waa offered for seventy-five cents. Prices of other badges were correspondingly reasonable, lost of the pins found in the pawnshops were probably stolen from or lost by their original owner a WHY A $1,000,000 FUND?

That Is the question asked by the New York Times and It la the result of aa In-' vestigation of tho extent to which leading college fraternity emblems arc found reposing in ths pawn shops of New York.

The investigator made a thorough search of tho loan offices from Seventeenth street and Third avenue to tha Brooklyn Bridge and found forty-two pins of Imp portant college fraternities, three Phi Beta Kappa keys, the badge of tho honorary classical society, and one of the honorary scientific society. There were also many prep school frat pine. The finds were generally distributed aq follows: Alpha Delta Phi, which has President Taft as one of its members, seven pine; Delta Upsllon, one of whose famous members is Suprems Court Justice Hughes, seven badges; Bata Theta PI, to whom Baird, the authority on college fraternities, owns allegiance, will also see seven of Its emblems for sale along the Bowery. FM Upsllon fares better with only three of Its pins on sale, while at Thanksgiving, Delta Kappa Epsilon. tho society of Roosevelt and Peary, might have bought back one of Its pine at a pawnbrokers sales store on Eighth' avenue, near Twenty-third street.

Phi Gamp ma Delta, which Is Christy Mathew-sons fraternity, may also resens two of Its emblems which now see life through the bars of a pawnbrokers window on Park Row. Other fraternities which will find some of their Insignia thus displayed are Chi Phi, Phi Nu Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Phi, Sigma Kappa Delta and Phi Delta Fhl, a law school fraternity. Prices for these relics ranged from 75 cents to $10 learning as represented by the Phi Beta Kappa keys being the Cheapest commodity on tho market. One store even announced its prise pin at. reduced rates by a card In the window; An exclusive society pin of a style costing $20 wae offered at $7.

Too much curiosity regarding the original owners of the pins Is not welcomed. As aH of these emblems bear the owners name on the hack of the pin, any finder wishing to could easily restore a lost pin. Indeed, one broker who boasts that ha sells annually hundreds of these emblems refuses to let the would-be purchaser look at the name on the back until the purchase money, has changed hands.
