The work of the President White School of History and Political Science, which was instituted at Cornell University in 1887 on the gift of his historical library by ex-Presi- dent A. D. White, naturally falls into the two great divisions suggested by its name. The instruction in history further divides itself into the subdepai-tmeuts of ancient and medieval, modem European, and Amer- ican history ; and that in political science into politics, social science and statistics, and political economy and finance. The teach- ing corps consists of four professors, an as- sociate professor, an assistant professor, an instructor, and an examiner. Five fellow- ships have been instituted, and degrees are conferred of Master of Arts, of Philosophy, of Letters, or of Science.
