having been enrolled. Accom-.
mOdations for students have
+ been enlarged since the past ses.
sion but still numbers have been
turned away for lack of dormi-
tory facilities, especially appli-
cants from other States. All Of
ficers from the president down
to the janitor are busy preparing
for the onrush Of pretty girls.
Just now President Kincannon
is one Of the busiest men in
( Mississippi as the pack ofIetters
on his desk will signify. He says
that the college never had a more
brilliant outlook, and deplores
the lack of room which prevents
him answering favorably the
/ scores of applications for admit
tance that come in every day.
The old white house has been
entirely remOdeled and veneered
and presents the appearance of
a new building. This has been
fitted up as a dormitory and will
furnish rooms for one hundred
and fifty girls.
The exercises will take place
at eleven o'clock next Wednes-
day and President Kincannon
cordially invites every one to be
present. Prominent men from
all over the State have been III
vited to deliver addresses and
the exercises will be Of unusual
interest. Among those expected
to be present is Mai. James K.
Vardaman, who will enter his
daughter for the coming session.
Superintendent Whitfield will de
liver an address, and other prom
ineut men from over the State
viii be present.
