The appointment of G. V. Copson, Corvallis, Oregon, to an assistant professorship in the Agricultural College, calls attention to the present day opportunity to achieve honorably success by care and diligence. Mr. Copson Is now studying in Germany under the supervision of the world's greatest specialists in bacteriology and will return in time to take up his new duties at the college, where was so recently a student, before the next semester opens.

Neither he nor the college authorities, who are well pleased" to have him Join their forces, believe the pessimistic dogma that our country no longer offers chances for success. Mr. Copson was graduated" from the Agricultural College in both the bachelor's and master's courses. While working for his master's -degree he carried on exhaustive studies of filtration problems in connection with the large water supply of Albany which Is said to hare been the most thorough piece of similar work ever carried on in the state. He then went to the Massachusetts graduate school of the Agrucultural College, studying with the most renowned American scientists; later 'going to Germany and Switzerland studying with the great German scientists in Munich and Berne His career seems almost spectacular to the superficial observer, but it has been an Intensely pfactical one to Mr.
