twenty buildings. The number Of students
is about $50; but as the equipment and ac-
authorities have tried to keep the number
down to that figure. The school, the
speaker said. is continuing the sending out
OF its graduates to the leading universities
of the country. and they are taking promi-
nent places in the student bodies with which
they are connected. The need for a larger
endowment was emphasized by the speaker,
