Abstract
WE are glad to learn that the trustees have appointed Prof. Newcomb Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in the Johns Hopkins University, and that he has agreed to accept the position. The University begins the session with 273 students, of whom 160 are graduates, and the attendance is distributed well through all the departments. Sir William Thomson's lectures, as might be expected, were a great success.
