MANY STUDENTS AT COLLEGE
Enrolment Shows An Increase of 40
Per Cent Over Opening Day of
Last Year.

Short exercises in the chapel We'd
nesday morning opened what bids
fair to be the most successful year
that Dallas College has yet enjoyed.
These exercises were short and rather
informal, consisting of vocal and
instrumental music, and appropriate
addresses of welcome by the various
members Of the faculty. Immediately
after their close, the work of registra-
ton and classification was begun.
Many friends and alumni attended
this first chapel session, and a large
number Of the older students have
returned to continue their work, but
the most encouraging feature Of all
is the great preponderance of new
faces in the assembled student body.
The exact number Of students enrolled
for the years work cannot be definitely
determined before next week, as new
ones will continue to come in daily.
President Mock, however, is we'll satis-
ACSt VIII OIlO LuuO ldIS duO
says that the first days enrolment
was 40 per cent greater than it was
last year.
The faculty has been strengthened
by the addition of two competent
instructors, Mrs. N. w. Sager, who will
have the chair of history, and Miss
Halle Morrison, who will preside over
the vocal department of the musical
work. Otherwise the personnel of the
faculty will be the same that it was
last year.
With this corps of strong educators
at its head, and with it's continually
growing band of adherents and patrons
in Polk and the surrounding counties,
Dallas College seems destined to enjoy
year Of unprecedented progress and
prosperity.
