leaving these few out of consideration
there will be least 475 students who will

This is by far the largest class ever
graduated at the "U." The largest per
centage of increase is in the departments
of engineering and law. The popularity o.
the engineering school has been greatl,
increased owing to the erection of new
buildings. Now that the new mining
building has been completed and the reg
