After most successful year the class
work of the university has ended, and
the students have gone to their reSpec-
tive homes. Perhaps no year in the
history of the institution has seen more
and greater changes made for the i'm

of all fields of university activity. The
attendance has been larger than that
of any preceding year. Gal students
having been enrolled. This, too. is to
be noted, that the proportion of col
lege students is constantly increasing
as people recognize the thoroughneSS
of the university work.
Chapel exercises have been success
full and well attended all year. Pre-
vious to last fall the various professors
have conducted the devotional eXer-
cises, but during the present school
year the ministers of the various de-
nominations of the city have been in
proved a most beneficial one.
The various student associations are
stronger than ever before. The Chron-
icle, under the management of the col
lege women, has not only maintained
itself, but has grown from both a lit
erary and a financial standpoint. The
Dramatic association has done very
creditable work; it's presentation of
"A Scrap of Paper" was much enjoyed
and favorably criticised by all who had
the good fortune to see it. The Ath-
letic association, although heavily in
debt at the beginning of the year, is
now practically free. In the field of
sports it has been successful. having
won in the athletic contest with the b.
Y. academy of Provo and having OBJ
tanned the highest percentage in the
local baseball series with the teams of
the L. ID. S. business college and the
high school.

organized and made a college frater-

active than usual. its attendance larger
and work more spirited The various
classes, from the seniors to the first
year students, have exhibited a broader
and deeper class and college spirit
than ever before.

During the year the museum and Ii

library has had volumes added to it to

But perhaps the greatest step in the
growth of the university is its prospec-
i've removal from its present cramped
quarters to its magnificent site upon
he Fort Douglas reservation. Through
he action of the congress of the
United States and our own state legis-
