200 Sixteen Years at the University of Illinois their time upon graduate work for a degree while holding research fellowships of the value of $500 each in the Engineering Experiment Station. There has also been offered annually since 1911 the Francis J. Plym Fellowship in Architecture with a stipend of $1,000. The holder of this fellowship is thus enabled to spend a year abroad in the advanced study of architecture. In 1916-17 a Celtic Fellowship of $1,000 was established by the Irish Fellowship d u b of Chicago. The total number of students enrolled in the Graduate School in 1903-04 was 118. The number had increased to 380 in 1919-20, excluding the summer session—a gain of 262, or nearly 220 per cent. If the summer session enrolment be taken into account also, the gross total for 1919-20 was 550; and the net total, excluding persons who returned for the winter session, 466—a gain of 348 or over 294 per cent for the sixteen years. In 1919-20 there were published under the auspices of the Graduate School the Journal of English and Germanic Philology, and three series of University Studies: Social Science Series, Language and Literature Series and Biological Monographs. The Illinois Historical Survey, an organization having for its purpose the prosecution of systematic studies in the history of Illinois, was established as a department of the Graduate School in 1910. The Graduate School of the University of Illinois was given formal recognition in 1908 by the admission of the University to the Association of American Universities, the chief requirement for membership in which is ''the existence of a strong graduate department." 2 2.
