|DR. ABERCROMBlE
ON UNIVERSITY
TALKS ENTHU SIASTICALLY OF THE
PROSPECTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL
YEAR IN THE INSTITUTION OF
WHICH HE Is THE HEAD

DR.. ]. W. Abercrombie, president of
the University of Alabama, arrived in
Birmingham yesterday to attend the
teachers institute which convenes in
Birmingham today. He Will be in the
city until tomorrow
DIR. Abercrombie said that the open
ing of the university was indeed bright
and the officers are very much encour-
aged with the outlook. He said the
enrolment is very brisk and a year
OF unusual promise is opening up.
In speaking further of the work he
said:
considering our advance in stan
dard, the opening attendance is crafty
ing. While the registration of students
is not complete, we have good reason
to believe that tn ere will be no decrease
in the total enrolment. Every indi-
cation points to an increase over that
of last year.
1.-The entrance requirements for last
session were two units or a half year
higher than for the preceding session.
For this session a like advance has been
made over the requirements for last
year. In other words, our admission
requirements have been advanced one
year or four high school units since
the session of 190S-9. Those who were
then ready for our sophomore class
are now admitted to the freshman
class.
'Our requirements for unconditional
admission to the freshman class are
IA high school units. This places the
university upon the national standard,
which standard is recognized by the
Southern Association of CollegeA the
Ma tional Association of State Univer-
81 Is, the American Association of Col
leges and Universities and the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching.
1.-THE entrance requirements are the
same for all of the colleges and schools

ATTORNEYS READY
FOR TRIAL OF CASE
ERs EWING ARRIVE FROM MEN,
PHIs TO DEFEND THE SOUTHERN
WHOLESALE GROCERS

For the purpose of defending the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' associa-
ton today, when the case instituted
by Hinton Clabaugh is called, Gen.
Luke E. Wright and Cssruthers Ewing
Of Memphis, attorneys for the asso-
citation, arrived III Birmingham yester-
day afternoon. Within a short time
President ]. H. McLaurin of Jackson
Vile, Fla. arrived at the Hillman and
the three interested men went into a
conference in regard to the case.
The attorneys will defend the South
ern Wholesale Grocers association in
the Clabaugh case today as we'll as the
case begun by the federal government
several months ago when 1T comes up
for hearing. 1t is probable that Gen
eral Wright, Mr.. Ewing and Special
District Attorney ]. IL. Montgomery
will hold a short meeting this week
and outline a plan for the taking of
testimony in the federal case. 1t is
understood that special examiner will
be appointed to hear the evidence later
to be passed upon by Judge William
I. Grub. In the event one examiner
is required and no other recommends
lions are made 1t is understood that
]. T. Glover of this city, who is a
prominent local attorney, will be named
as special examiner.
General Wright and Mr. Ewing last
night dined with President McLaurin
during which the case to be opened
today was discussed very freely. The
officers have expressed themselves
frankly upon the case heretofore and
stated last night that nothing was to
be added to what has already been
said. They said it was simply law
suit which they believed could be sue
cessfully contested and that would be
done.
The case today is one wherein Mr.
Clabaugh alleges that when he started
in business here he was forced to
abandon it on account of alleged dis
elimination imposed by the Southern
Wholesale Grocers. He alleges that he
was combined against and made the
target for such discrimination that he
was forced out of business He fought
one case successfully through the state
court, receiving, it Is stated, about
$4,000 as a compromise verdict.
