Full Up mt WinthrOp.
Rock Hill special of September 5, to
The News and Courier: With the COM
ing of September the buildings at Win
throp begin to show signs Of life. At
ter the closing of the summer school
only small office force is at work. but
by the end Of August the number
begins again after a much needed
rest Of three weeks. President john
son reports that the number of ap-
plicants is already the greatest on
record. Up to this time 733 have
applied for admission. An application
does not mean an inquiry as to condi-
tions. but direct request for room.
Nor does this number include those
young ladies who live in Rock Hill and
who for this reason, do not wish room
in the dormitory. Of the number 444
stood the entrance examinations held at
the county seats in July: the others are
old pupils, who wish to return. The
papers submitted at these examinations
were graded rigidly, and registration
refused to those who did not show
themselves qualified to do college work
In spite of this strict grading all rooms
in the dormitories have already been
assigned. The maximum capacity OF
the dormitories is 424 pupils: rooms are
reserved for the lady teachers and EN-
ployees; all rooms are now full and yet
other bona fide applications are coming
