ATTENDANCE WILL BE LARGE.
State University Expects Increase in
Number of Students.

Number of Students.
The fifty-sixth year of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin opens Monday, Sept.
rs, the first three days being set aside
for registration and lectures, and
class work beginning on Thursday,
Sept. 28. Although it is impossible to
anticipate in advance the increase in
the number of students, the many in
quiries and requests for enrolment
blanks received by Register Hiestand
from prospective students not only in
Wisconsin, but in all parts of the coun-
try indicate that there will be large
number of new students. If the in
| crease is SO great as it has been for
the past two years, the total enroll
ment of students at the university this
year will exceed $3.50.
All graduates of the accredited high
| schools in Wisconsin and other states
are admitted to the university without
any examination upon presentation OF
| a statement from the principal OF the
high school containing list of the
studies pursued, length of time each
study was taken, and the standing OBJ
| tanned in each. Those who are not
| graduates of accredited schools may
take the entrance examinations which
are held Sept. rs and 27.
NH L, i oh
| has been in course of construction for
the last year, will be occupied for the
| first time this fall, and all work in
chemistry, including that in the course
of pharmacy, will be given in the new
building, which is to be equipped
| throughout for the study OF all
branches of science The interior of
North hall has been remOdeled and
will be occupied by the course in COM
merce with class and lecture rooms,
the new commercial museum and read
ing room. Preparations are now being
made for laying the foundation OF the
new north wing of University hall,
which will be built this fall. The first
floor of the new wing will be occupied
| by the Offices Of the president, regis
| ter and other executive officers, and
the other floors by class and lecture
rooms.
The most important of the new
courses to be offered for the first time
this year is that in chemical engineer
| ing. The course has been established
because of the constantly increasing
demand for college graduates who
have had training both in chemistry
and engineering. The purpose of the
new course is to train students thor
oughly in fundamental principles both
of chemistry and of engineering, and
to give such other subjects as will con-
tribute as far as possible toward a
| liberal education. Opportunity will be
given to graduate and advanced stu
dents for specialization in preparation
| for particular industries, such as those
of beet sugar, gas and fuel, paper,
soaps, paints, starch, tanning of leath-
er, cement, pottery, as we'll as the util-
ization of byproducts and trade
| wastes.
By the new arrangement which
takes effect this year it will be posi-
BILE for student to combine the reg
ular four-year engineering courses
with courses in commerce, law or agri-
| culture, and thus secure better and
broader training. This is a particu-
larly advantageous arrangement for
engineering students who are rrepar-
| ing for work in the various industries
or for railroad work, and for students
in the commerce course w.o expect to
enter the bushes departments of such
Organizations.-W.
