gets them she will have next year the
greatest year she has ever known.
One of the things which seem to jus
tify this immense bid for the attend
ance of the students of the northwest
as far as southern Oregon is the new
gymnasium. Hitherto Whitman has
been greatly handicapped in a ply
steal way; now she will be on par in
this respect with her sister institu-
tons and will remain their superior in
scholarship as she always has. Mill
tary drill will be introduced next fall
under an experienced officer of the
United States army and will be re-
quired of all students.
A big expansion will take place In
the scientific departments of the col
lege. F'Our-year courses Will hereafter
be offered in physics, chemistry and
biology where hitherto two only have
been on the curriculum. Professor
Bratton will return from a years study
in Germany to take charge of the de-
partment of mathematics.
Prospects for Large Attendance.
Even now the prospects for a large
attendance are excellent. Nearly
every student leaving this year will
return. The spirit al the end of a year
was never better than at this one. Be
sides this many students will return
next year who went to Whitman form
erly but have been away for a year or
more. This is another reason for
thinking next year will be the banner
year in Whitman history.
Already the rooms are going so fast
in Billings hall that Professor Hen
drick is strongly advising haste on the
part of those who wish to secure rooms
there.
Letters have been received from the
following places from those who have
signfied their intention of coming
next year. Pocatello, Huntsville, Cen
esee, Mountain Home, Spokane. Pen
dleton, Dayton, Payette, Snohopish.
Everett, COlfaX, Boise and
many others. Taking into considera-
ton that it is only June this will in
dictate that there is some basis for the
hope which the faculty feel that Whit
man will have a broad field next year.
