WoffOrd College Notes.

| WOFEORD COLLEGE, SfARtAN6Cht
October 12.-This the beginning Of the
fiftieth year of Wofford College finds
the enrolment larger than that of any
previous year. The present enrolment
is about 800, and when the session has
ended it is very probable that the 325
mark will have been reached.
The new science hall is being pushed
and when the students reassemble after
the Christmas holidays it is though ht that
the building will be completed: The
| building is of brick and the windows
will be capped with granite.
A step is being taken to create An
interest in hitherto unknown depart
ment of college life at Wofford, this is a
track team. The students are talking OF
the matter among themselves and the
general opinion is that Wofford could
put out very creditable team next spring,
and that by the following year we might
compete successfully with the other
colleges of the State. The matter Is re-
ceiving considerable attention and when
the athletic association meets next week
further action will be taken.
The glee club is preparing to give the
best entertainment in its history in the
way of either a minstrel, moot court or
play. lust which one has not yet been
decided upon. The minstrel seems to be
the most popular idea with the student
body and this will probably be the nature
of the entertainment.
Although the baseball season is some
time of, the prospects are being discuss
ed. The large class Of new men just
entering college is sure to have among
it's number some fire material. There
will be several places to fill and just who
will be the owners of those places is not
known but that the men will be on hand
when the season opens the association
feels confident.
The classes are all organizing football
teams and even if we have not a college
team this year, the student body will wit
ness some good games. The Juniors and
Sophomores will play their first game
next week and the outcome is not at all
certain
