Expect 5000 Students at Varsity
This Year,

Preparations are being completed
this week at the University of Wiscon
sin for the opening of the sixtieth year
of the institution. 1t is expected that
fully 5000 students will be enrolled
during the academic year, an increase
of half thousand over last year.
OF the six new buildings or additions
that have been in process of construc-
ton this summer only one, the new
biology building, will be ready for
students when classes start on the
twenty sixth of the month, The new
wing to the chemistry building is ex-
pected to be finished by the opening of
the second semester in February, but
the agricultural chemistry building,
the new wing to the library, the
womens dormitory and the home eco
Monies building are not expected to be
ready for occupation before the fall of
1918.
With the added space afforded by the
biology building many departments
that have been crowded for room dur
ing the past year will be amply pro
vided for. The botany department,
which has been occupying rooms in
science hall has already moved into the
new building and taken charge of the
green houses.
