THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
WONDERFUL RECORD MADE DURING
THE SESSION JUST ENDED.
Many Graduates Of the University Have
Secured Positions for the Coming
Year-Notes.

Austin, Texas, June 22.-The usual stir
and hustle about the university corridors
has scarcely been diminished by the clos
Ing of the regular session. The Influx OF
the summer school students coming so
quickly after commencement has broken
Into the period Of quiet that usually fol
lows this interesting event. Teachers from
all over Texas to the number OF 200 are
here In attendance upon the university sum
mer school The faculty numbers twenty
Instructors and a variety Of college courses
are offered, besides many other lines of
instruction especially adapted TO the needs
Of the teaching profession.
At the recent commencement of the uni,
versity l62 degrees were delivered la tho
academic, law and medical schools, much
larger number than has ever been awarded
at any one commencement; 1907 students
registered in all departments OF the unit
verslty during the past session, the increase
OF students being mainly in the academic
department. The attendance NJ the medi-
cal department shows slight decrease due
to the effects % the Galveston storm.
The record Of the University Of Texas
FOR the session Of 1900 and 1901 is without
a parallel In the history OF education In the
state, and probably can not be equacd by
any university in the south. one thousand
students and 1866 graduates all brought 10,
gether under single organization, repre-
sents an amount Of time money aud brains
that Is difficult TO realize In a moments
thought. II has required force consist
ing OF nearly 100 officers and teachers to
manage this large body of students. Al
an average expenditure OF $500 per student
the citizens Of Texas have spent in this
one university alone more than quarter
OF million dollars during the past year
