IN READINESS FOR OPENING
Eight Hundred Applicants Accepted
For the 1s11.1et2 Session Of Glenn
son CoIIeqe-openlng Near.

Clemson College.-Dr. w. M. Riggs,
president OF Clemson college, In an
interview stated that everything
would be in readiness for the open
ing OF the college. The work on
the barracks is nearing completion.
The additional story to barracks No.
l, giving 80 new rooms, has added
greatly to the attractiveness Of the
building. The porch with its big col
umns will increase the beauty and
comfort OF barracks No. 2. The porch
will not be completed by the time for
the opening, but will be finished at
an early date.
The additional rooms will give ac-
commodations to about 100 more stu
dents and all available space will be
occupied. There are over 800 ac-
cepted applicants. At least 500 will
be present at the opening, but this
number will likely be scaled down to
about 730, as that is the running
capacity OF the institution. More have
been accepted than can be per-
manently accommodated, because ex-
perience has shown that q consider
able number fail to make the classes
they are trying for and return to
their homes or go to other schools.
Every indication points to the largest
and most promising opening the col
lege has ever had.
Practically all members Of the fac
ulty and officers Of the college re-
turned to Clemson on September l,
and they have been busy in their re-
spective departments getting all de-
tails in readiness for the opening OF
the session. Various members Of the
faculty spent the summer at work
teaching in summer schools In this
state and in other sections OF tb'
country. Members of the agricultu-
raj faculty have spent an unusually
busy summer In holding farmers
Institutes throughout the state and
in making addresses at meetings Of
various kinds. The farm demonstra-
ton train traversed the entire state
and did excellent work that will tell
on the prosperity Of the common
wealth in years to come.
