the clerical force in the office OF

charge of this big correspondence, has
not had an idle day during the sum
mer and has been forced to forego
his usual vacation to keep up this
routine of the office. DIR. Fountain
states that he believes the largest
number OF new students ever applying
at tn college for admission will be
here on the opening day and he is
now arranging for several instructors

dormitories are to be erected at once,
thus doing away with the tent life has
had a great deal to do with bringing
new boys to the college.

that the man was not a railroad man.
Although trains over the Central Ner-
