Shriver, of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions; the Rev. Jonathan Day of the Labor Temple, and the Rev. Warren H. Wilson of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.

Owing to the scarcity of fuel, the usual Lincoln's Birthday Conference for Social Workers was omitted, as well as Dr. Dickinson's series of Organ Recitals, which have proved very popular during the past four years.

For the same reason the gymnasium was closed from December 29th to March 4th, and the Chapel from December 30th to the same date, except on Sunday mornings; and daily prayers were held in one of the lecture rooms. During this period the Administration building, containing all the class rooms, was left unheated on Sundays and on four of the heatless Mondays prescribed by the National Fuel Administration, as well as every evening. Seminary exercises on Monday and the classes of the Union School of Religion on Sunday were held in the dormitory and in the Professors' apartments. The Reference Library was also closed on the heatless Mondays, as well as every evening from January 7th to March 2d. The closing of these parts of the building meant some inconvenience to us, but did not seriously interfere with the work of the Seminary.

The Inter-Seminary Conference of Eastern College Men on the Christian Ministry, which has met annually for some years under the auspices of Andover, Hartford and Union Seminaries, and which should have been held this year at Hartford, was omitted on account of the war.

The Seminary Bulletin, authorized some time ago by the Board of Directors, has been instituted this year and three numbers have already appeared, the first containing the Opening Address, the second the addresses given at the celebration of the quadricentennial of the Reformation, and the third the Annual Catalogue. The Bulletin will also include the annual Announcement of Courses of Study and the Reports of the Faculty and the Librarian to the Board of Directors. It is hoped to issue each year an Alumni Number with news of the

alumni, items of Seminary news of interest to them, and bibliographies of theological and religious literature prepared by members of the Faculty.

The Faculty has been at work during the year upon a thorough-going revision of the requirements for graduation, which it is hoped may be adopted in time to go into effect for next year. A new and radically improved plan for student field work is also in contemplation, but it is too soon to make a final report upon it.

During the year the sum of $172,876.49 has been received from generous friends of the Seminary, the greater portion of it in payment of subscriptions already made. Of this sum $76,000 went to the Department of Foreign Service, part of it in the form of a guarantee fund to make possible the establishment of the new Professorship of Missions, to which Dr. Fleming has been appointed. Ten thousand dollars went to the establishment of the Cuyler Preaching Fellowship, and the remainder, with the exception of small sums for the Professors' Retiring Fund and for special lectures, made it possible, with money already in hand, to establish the new Professorship of the History of Religions.

The inauguration of the new President of the Faculty has been fixed for Commencement Day, Tuesday, the 14th of May, at eleven in the morning. Owing to the war it has been decided to omit the elaborate celebration usually attendant upon such an event and to which in ordinary times the academic institutions of our own and other countries would have been invited. As the inauguration takes place on Commencement Day, it has been necessary to change somewhat the usual order for the day. The regular meeting of the associated alumni, ordinarily held in the morning, will be omitted, but there will be the usual alumni luncheon in the gymnasium immediately after the inaugural exercises. In the afternoon tea will be served as in previous years on the terrace in the quadrangle. The graduating exercises will occur at eight in the evening, followed by an informal reception to the graduates and their friends at the home of President and Mrs. McGiffert.

At the inauguration the Charge to the President will be given by the Rev. James Meeker Ludlow, D.D., L.H.D., and

the Installation Prayer will be offered by the Rev. William Pierson Merrill, D.D., both of the Board of Directors.

The opening address of the year was delivered by Professor McGiffert on the subject "The Seminary and the War." At the graduating exercises the closing address of the year will be given by Professor Smith on the subject "Spiritual Leadership," and farewell words will be spoken to the graduating class by the President of the Board of Directors and the President of the Faculty.
