Your readers have already learned Of
the resolutions of our board to the eff
feet that alter August 10 students will
! not be nrmitted to enter.
This apples, of course, to this session
which ends in December. At the be-
ginning 0! the February session new
students will be matriculated This
action of the board calls Tor a word of
explanation.
We have already enrolled 400 stu
dents. There is a limit to our capacity
1t is prOable that by August ID all
rooms In the dormitOry VIII have been
taken. We cannot, as long as new
students are permitted to enter, arrange
permanent schedule either for work
on the farm or III the shops or for re-
citations. Hence the board, believing
that I'LL or nearly all of those who
wished to enter this session, could, by
an extra effort, be here by August lu,
passed the above resolution.
