At their June (1899) meeting the regents elected the following members of the university faculty:

L. E. Dixon, of Chicago University, associate professor of mathematics; E. W. Fay, of Washington-Lee University, professor of Latin; H. Y. Benedict, of Vanderbilt University, instructor in mathematics; Miss Mary Head, tutor in English; Miss Lila M. Casis, adjunct instructor in Spanish; Dan A. Penick, instructor in Greek and Latin; James R. Bailey, adjunct professor in chemistry.

All of these, except Professor Fay, were graduates of the University of Texas. Mr. Fay is a Ph. D. of Johns Hopkins University, a son of ex-State Superintendent of Education Fay, of Louisiana, and author of the History of Education in Louisiana, lately published by the United States Bureau of Education.

FACULTY AUTHORSHIP.

The University of Texas, being comparatively a young institution, but few members of the faculty have contributed much in the line of book making. Dr. Dabney wrote his life of Stonewall Jackson and some theological and philosophical works, but nearly all before he was connected with the university. Dr. Waggener, not long before he died, had, as elsewhere noticed, published his text-book on sentence analysis. Dr. Humphreys made some contributions to Greek textbooks. Dr. Sterrett, before he came to Texas, had written a large volume on his archeological researches. Dr. Macfarlane had written some mathematical books; Dr. Baldwin, a couple of books on methods of pedagogy. Dr. Houston wrote a political book before his connection with the university. Dr. Lane is the author of a book on engineering instruments. Dr. Garrison has made some valuable contributions to history. Professors Calloway and Hamberlin are the authors of some literary works, and Professor Lefever of some mathematical books. Professor Hill, after he quit the university for Government service, wrote several books. Professors Fitzhugh, Mezes, Liddell, Taylor, Mather, Primes, Harper, Battle, and Norman, and Instructors Bugbee, Porter, and Schoch, have more or less figured in literary work. Professor Sutton is the joint author of Sutton and Kimbrough's Arithmetic. Professor Roberts wrote one or two law books and contributed largely to a lately published history of Texas. Professor Batts is author of a law book. Professor Nagle, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, has published a volume of engineering tables.

Dr. Halsted, though one of the younger members of the university faculty, is the most voluminous and perhaps most noted of them all in his writings. His geometry has an international reputation, leading to its publication in other countries and use in foreign universities. He has traveled extensively, and is a very interesting lecturer, espe

cially on the subjects of his travels. A list of most of the contributions and those of some other members of the faculty will be found in Raine's Bibliography of Texas. The Texas Academy of Science was founded by Dr. Halsted.

Members of the faculty of the medical department have, most of them, contributed to the medical journals of the profession, but to what extent the writer is not advised.

President Winston, like Dr. Waggener, has been too actively engrossed with his executive duties to find time for general literary work, but his numerous contributions on educational matters, particularly his addresses before the National Educational Association and on other public occasions, would make a very interesting and instructive volume.

COEDUCATION IN THE UNIVERSITY.

The statute under which the university was organized states that "it shall be open to all persons in the State who may wish to avail themselves of its advantages, and to male and female on equal terms." In compliance with the spirit of this act of the legislature, no provision for the instruction of young women apart from young men has been made. The two sexes are taught the same subjects by the same professors at the same time, and the requirements for admission are equally rigorous. In no respects are the young women considered as constituting a separate department of the university, or a separable annex whose connection is fortuitous and experimental, and no distinction between them and the young men, either in discipline or instruetion, is recognized. No restrictions other than those prevailing in good society are placed upon the sexes with reference to their association with each other. It is proper, however, to call attention to the fact that this institution is not a "young ladies' seminary." Only earnest young women, imbued with a desire to profit by the methods of advanced education by such instruction as was but recently confined to young men, should attend an institution where coeducation is practiced, as it is in this and other higher institutions of learning, open to males and females on equal terms. But young women, in order to have equal advantages with young men, are entitled to the presence in the faculty of a lady of culture and refinement, whose example and precept will exercise the same restraining influence that young women in good society are subjected to. They are also entitled to have some one in the faculty who can see that they have proper boarding houses and comfortable rooms, who can visit them when they are sick, and see that they are properly nursed and cared for. The regents, in the appointment of Mrs. Kirby as lady assistant, have fully met all such reasonable expectations. Young women can enter this university with the full assurance that they will receive the benefits of its instruction on equal terms with young men.-University catalogue.

In this connection it may be added that the system of coeducation has worked so well that there is evidently no occasion, or at least no necessity, for establishing a separate ladies' annex, as at some other institutions of learning, except, perhaps, for quarters to provide for special instruction of young ladies in art and music, as important society accomplishments. Here is an appropriate opportunity for a benefaction from some beneficent lady. Miss Brackenridge, who takes great interest in the university, has endowed a girls' scholarship, and it has been intimated that as her brother, Regent Brackenridge, established

a boys' mess hall, she may provide one for girls. An art and music hall, however, would be preferable, especially as boarding houses are already kept convenient to the university, some of them being conducted on the messing system. The Right Rev. Bishop Kinsolving, with the cooperation of the Episcopal Church, has provided a large and finely furnished church institute, "Grace Hall," as a home for girl students of the university. Such provision is, of course, gratifying, as far as it goes, as a means of equalizing economic advantages for them with those provided for male students; but, as President Winston contends, the State of Texas should not be content to rely in this matter upon the wisdom and philanthropy of private citizens, but should recognize the needs of its young women and supply at once, at the main university, the buildings necessary to their economical and healthful education on "equal terms" with men, as well as the equipment essential to their education in art, music, and domestic economy.

CORRELATION WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The object of the university as a branch of the educational system of the State is to complete the work that is begun in the public schools by providing in a thorough manner for liberal education in literature, science, and the arts, and for the professional studies of law and medicine. The university, through the aid received from the State, offers all its facilities for higher education to persons of either sex qualified for admission without charge for tuition, and in order to perfect a close and vital connection with the public schools of the State it has been provided that a diploma from an approved school shall admit a student without examination to all the privileges of the university. This approval is on recommendation of committees of the university professors, who visit the schools for the purpose of personal investigation and report their observations for the action of the faculty. It was at Dr. Waggener's suggestion that the system was adopted. President Winston has proposed going farther to correlate the church schools, but the proposition meets with opposition from the churches. In course of time, when Mexico is provided with good high schools, the system may be advantageously extended to that country on account of its proximity to Texas; and so also it may be extended to Cuba and Porto Rico, with reference to which present dependencies General Wheeler has suggested that free scholarships be tendered to a certain number of students by all the universities of the United States. Eventually, in keeping pace with the expansion of our country, Hawaii. and even the far-distant Philippines, may be brought within the pale of our educational influences and have students in the University of Texas as well as in other American universities. The public high school in Honolulu, which occupies a fine building in the midst of ample grounds adorned with rare plants and beautiful flowers, has
