"This Chautauqua-which has made the name Chautauqua a noun of multitude of gatherings
all over the Union-is the result of untiring energy, and there is probably no other one educational
influence in the country quite so fraught with hope for the future of the nation as this and the
movements of which this is the archetype."
-Theodore Roosevelt.

Gradual changes mark the growth of a living institution and Chautauqua is no exception to the rule. A number of important ones in which Chautauquans are deeply interested have occurred this year. Among these are the securing of a new charter, which makes the trustees practically a self-perpetuating body, and codifies the legislation regulating the activities of Chautauqua. The General Offices have been removed to Chautauqua, N. Y., to remain there permanently. Many physical improvements have been added, including the new Girls' Club House, new gymnasium building, twenty-five new private cottages, new music studios and practice houses, the removal of all barns outside the fence. The old north and south road gates, and the employees' gate, have been closed permanently, and hereafter the one entrance will be used exclusively.

In the schools a new department of Arts and Crafts has been added, and an exhibition will be held in connection with it; also a new department of Sunday School methods. Other additions have been made, notably the enlargement of the School of Physical Education.

New features have been introduced into the public program in the arrangement by weeks of specific subjects to be treated, and the engaging of specialists to discuss the special topics and conduct public conferences

throughout the different periods. One thing of great in. terest to old Chautauquans will be the return of Bishop Vincent after a two years' absence in Europe, and the presence on Old First Night, August 6th, of many who have been prominent in the history of the in

stitution.

Better railroad rates are offered Chautauqua visitors this year and a large attendance is anticipated. The new railway extension from Mayville to Westfield, giving direct connection with lake to the Western Trunk Lines, is to be finished by July Ist.

At the annual meeting of the trustees in Buffalo, on January 16th, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Bishop John H. Vincent, Chancellor; Wilson M. Day, First Vice-President; E. G. Dusenbury, Second Vice-President; Chester D. Massey, Third Vice-President; Ira M. Miller, Secretary; Warren F. Walworth, Treasurer; Joseph C. Neville, Chairman of Executive Board; George E. Vincent, Principal of Instruction; Scott Brown, ViceChairman Executive Board, and Vice-Principal. Mr. M. F. Beiger, of Mishawaka, Ind., was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Pres. Studebaker. Hereafter the permanent offices of Chautauqua will be at Chautauqua, N. Y, and all correspondence should be addressed there, regarding both the summer session and the C. L. S. C.
