Professors on Sabbatical Leave.

Five members of the Faculty will be absent on sabbatical vacation next year, and all intend to spend their time abroad.

Professor Lyon of the Semitic department will leave for England early in the summer and expects to travel through France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Palestine. His trip will be largely for study, and in the interests of the new Semitic Museum.

Professors France and de Sumichrast will leave as soon as possible, and intend to spend most of their time on the continent in rest and recuperation.

Professor Taussig will spend the summer in America and go abroad in the fall. His plans are as yet indefinite, but his trip will probably be one of pleasure.

Assistant Professor Baker will leave for England about the first of July, and will stay there several months. His further plans will depend on the state of his health at the end of the Summer.

It is also very probable that Professor B. O. Peirce will not be well enough to resume his work in the Department of Mathematics next year, and that he will be away for some time longer.

Most of the courses usually given by the professors going away next year will be in charge of other members of their departments. In Economics, however, Assistant Professor Bullock of Williams will give three of Professor Taussig's half-courses during the first half-year.
