Hotel Battalion, at Keszthely, fash

sity OF this city including in their
number two law students, eleven
medicos, one philosopher and one

OF this innovation. These highly edu-
Gated youths have discarded the col

This new move has created SEN
sation at the university. The deacon
OF the law department denounced II so
strongly that his men resigned their
waiterships. The average student Is
very poor and vacations long. At
Hotel Bataton the enterprising youths
are allowed a free cure-baths and

proud, like to see young men indie

that the collegian walters will be well
