taking such course. This number is
far larger than in former years. and
shows that the old classical courses lead
ing to the a. b. degree are not so popu-
lar as formerly.
The freshman class this year has also
a remarkably large number of big men

the clash comes with the sophomores
that the freshmen will come out ahead.
The new students come from all parts
OF the country, as usaaf,- although the
number of students from the West has

Colorado. which has always been regard
ed as Dartmouth stronghold. There Is
also an unusually large contingent from
the South.
All the buildings have been carefully
fixed over for the opening, and the cam
pus never looked better.
The college officials are unable to ac-
count for the unusually large freshman
class this year. although they say IT
is due IN part to the university's athletic
prestige and to the work of press bu-
reau headed by Prof. James q. Dealey.
which sent items OF interest to the press
