All arrangements for the opening of Howard college on September II have been made. and the outlook for the en- suing term Is the brightest in the history of the institution.

 The athletic future of the college IS receiving greater attention at the hands of the management and the alumni. More money and more influence than ever be- fore will be directed toward this feature of the college work this year. The ser vices of MT. Councilman, who proved such an efficient coach the past term. have been engaged for the fall and spring and the athletic future of the institution is assured
 Only one change has been made in the faculty. A. II. Olive, who will occupy the chair of chemistry and biology, Is a na- tive of North Carolina, and besides hay ing gone through Wake Forest college, and having held chair there, has been pursuing graduate studies at Cornell uni versity. MT. Olive will be a welcome ad- dltion to the already strong faculty of Howard, and comes to Birmingham with one of the best equipments that can be secured in the south and east.
 When seen yesterday, Dr. A. P. Mon tague president of the college, said:
 T expect to see the coming term one of the most successful in the history of Howard. The faculty has been strength ened by one addition, and a number of the other members have been spending their vacation in study at different uni versailles in order that they will be better prepared to carry out their work the en- suing term. Prof. Gus c. Cunningham will be on leave of absence the next ses- sion to attend Cornell university At the end of the year he will receive the degree of doctor of philosophy.
 "One of the strongest purposes of How ard Is to strengthen the department of science, and it will soon take place as factor in the preparation of young men for work in the applied sciences. The money given at the recent Baptist stale convention was not for the department of science. as was stated in the press, but was simply for current expenses It is expected when announcement is made of the gifts to the science department the total amount will be vastly larger than those mentioned.
 "The policy Of Howard college will be as always-to train men that they may realize the best in them, and the manage ment ever bears in mind that the best and most wholesome education is that which develops the spiritual intellectual and physical powers equally and in just proportion. We had an attendance of 205 last year. but we expect to have more than 25o enrolled for the fall term"
