UNIVERSITY OPENS
STUDENTS, NEW AND OLD, FLOCK
 TO TUSCALOOSA.
First Days EnroIlment Indicates Rec- ord Year at Institution-Regulnr Work Begins Within Next
 Few Days.

University. Sept. s-tSpeciaI)--As was expected, yesterday proved to be day of almost unceasing labor for all connected with the University. When the doors of the registrars of flee were opened, a crowd of new and | old students was on hand to apply for | admission. "
 In order to transact with more ex I petition the business of admitting and classifying the students and enrolling them in the different courses, all Of the faculty gathered in one of the large lecture rooms of the new engi- neering building, where they were oc- cupied for more than an hour after the. closing of the business office
 As Is always the case on the open ing day. the enrollment of new stu. dents was very much greater than that of the old, and If the number of new men who have come In today and yesterday can be taken as a fair in- dication. the University is beginning the most prosperous session in its hiss tory.
 It was felt by many. that. the raising of the entrance requirements for this year up to twelve units would tend to cause a falling off in the number of freshmen. But in reality. 1t does not seem to have had that effect. In
 
 ment about Tuscaloosa that this is nn unusually suspicious opening. Tomorrow the preliminary work will continue, but by Friday the pro- fessors will probably be able to meet their classes and assign lessons. By Monday the machinery will be run. ming smoothly and the steady work of the next nine months will have be. gun.
 Interest in athletic matters was brought to the front yesterday by the arrival from the East of pr. J. w. H. Pollard. athletic director of. the University, who for the past three years has lead the football and base ball teams of the University from vi.'. tory to victory. When approached on the matter of Alabama's prospects of | success, the doctor was reticent. but his smile makes one feel that the crimson and white will be more than able to hold up its past record.
