rapidly increasing. At the branch
rollment of lis this year, a decided in
crease over the attendance of a year
ago.
This growth in the size and quality
of the student body has its direct in
ffuence upon the student life. Never
before in the history has there been
such genuine college spirit as is mani
tested at present. To further
athletics and sports, there is Field
Day club, comprising all the students,
and an athletic association, composed
of those more directly interested in
athletics. There are two football teams,
both we'll equipped and well trained:
there are also several basket pail
teams doing constant work. In the
way of regular literary society efIort
there are several societies organized
the leading among these are the
Dramatic association, the Delta PM
and the Zeta Gamma The general
student body supports a college paper,
the University Chronicle, publication
whose merit is recognized in the col
lege-paper world. The students have
also organized a students lecture
course to secure the best lecturers for
the benefit of the students generally.
Each of the years of students in the
university proper and in the normal
course, is organized for social ana
fraternal purposes. These classes give
occasional class programmes, hold IN
formal socials, and sometimes give
public entertainments. They are
organized to cultivate the social SIDE
Of student life, and from this stand
point they are very successful. Inc
college students, regardless OF classes,
are organized into two fraternltleS-tne

and at the same time cultivate
healthful class spirit that aids with
school work.

present is bright, and the future prom
Using. Although the present facllltles
are good, they are taxed to their utmost
capacity. If the various departments
are to continue to grow in size ana
improve in quality of work done,
greater facilities must be secured. More
class rooms must be provided to &C
commodate the students, ana the
faculty should be increased to meet
the growing demands made upon IL II
is the desire of the university author1-
ties to be able to abandon the prepare
tory school or at least to seDarate II
more completely from the college that
the university may be an institution
devoted solely to higher educatlon.
They desire to see the university IN
keeping with the growth OF the state
that it may continue to be the educa-
tional head of the intermountaln
