THAT is A BIG CLASS
Which Now Attracts Attention, Sophomore
and Otherwise. Upon Bowdoin's Campus.

Old Bowdoin's campus is the theatre of
interesting scenes this week. Over 100
have taken the entrance examinations and
about so will enter upon their first years
studies at Bowdoin In the class of '99.
Contests between sophumores and fresh
men will be feature of the week Some
of these would not be recognized by the
Bowdoin man Of ten years back; for in
stance the passing Of the freshmen with
barred heads, as they came out Of chapel
Tuesday morning, beneath an arch of
canes held in the hands of the sophie
mores. A Bangor freshman by the name
OF Godfrey stands 6 feet 4 inches in height
and much is expected of him in athletics
The sophomores hope he won't feel called
upon to carry Il cane during his freshman
year.
Just how many new students enter
Bowdoin this fall it is now impossible to
say The seniors, 80, have no additions,
Several new men join the juniors, includ-
ing McCailum and Ellsworth, theological
school graduates At least two new men
join '9S, Guy Howard of Pennington, who
comes from Tufts College, and Stephen
Young of Brunswick, a son of the late
treasurer of the college, who passed his
freshman year in Yale. Among the new
students to enter the college for special
courses this fall are Charles W. Bonney of
Lewiston, Gilbert Clough Of Dexter K. G.
Cummings of Lewiston, Ernest Went
worth of Auburn and Richard Shields of
Auburn.
About 100 have been admitted to the
class Of 80 and more are in the process of
taking their entrance examinations today.
But of this number some will go to other
colleges, as any college is glad to accept
the Bowdoin certificate, some cannot
come, some will remain back year, and
in various ways the number admitted will
be cut down score or so when the class
gets settled down to business. The fol
lowing is as nearly a correct list to date
as Secretary Little can make out of the
freshman class. Several names will have
to be added and probably several dropped
