These changes have been made with a view to making the volume still more valuable to the undergraduate or graduate who desires full and reliable information in regard to all the interests and organizations in the University in a com- pact and convenient form. Among the radical departures from the make-up of preceding years is the addition of several articles on the graduate schools. A map of the University, especially drawn up for the Register with a complete index to the buildings, has been added. Particular attention has been given...
