in Faculty and Force at
the Seminary.

/
Goddard seminary opens next Tuesday
morning, when the old bell will ring foi
the forty y-fifth year of the schools exist
enee. The enrolment is expected to bl
by far the largest in the history of the
institution, condition which is attrib
uted to the extensive improvements car.
ried on at the school during the past
year. In addition to the opening OF
Alumni hall in the late winter. there
have been a number OF less pretentious
changes that combine to put the school
on a higher level than ever before. This
year the number of boarders who will
daily throng the spacious dining hall in
the Alumni building will be increased
fifty per cent. There will be more than
one hundred and twenty-five students
who will have their headquarters on the
hill, and this is taken to mean that the
total enrolment will easily exceed two
hundred.
Nearly all of the new students are
coming for more than one year, and
twenty-five who will come to Goddard
from distance will pursue four-year
course. Among the new students who
have forwarded registration papers to
the principal are many from every state
in New England. several from Canada
and others from more distant sections
of the country. Already the governing
board at Goddard has been forced to Sc
cure rooms outside the school group to
accommodate students.
This year Goddard will establish a
new feature in its courses by offering
evening courses in all Of its commercial
departments, Downtown students will
have an opportunity to enroll, and the
two commercial teachers who occupy
regular places on the faculty will have
charge OF the work This departure from
the rule of former years is calculated
to increase materially the enrolment.
Not only will the commercial courses
be offered to night students, but GER
tain number of domestic science stu
dents may be accommodated in the night
courses. Persons not regularly enrolled
as students at Goddard may take adyan-
tage OF the night courses in the three
branches of domestic science.
In connection with this announcement,
Principal o. H. Hollister stated to-day
that any regular student at Goddard
who Is pursuing one of the prescribed
may take any branch of the do
mestic science department without extra
cost This decision was reached at
recent meeting of the hoard of trustees.
A fee of $40 per term for the commercial
night school has been fixed, and rate
likewise reasonable has been established
for night students pursuing domestic sci
enee courses. Opportunities for study
.
ing chemistry, physics, biology, as well
as the commercial and domestic courses,
have been greatly augmented lately
through the creating of new laboratories
and class rooms New equipment for
every one of these departments has
greatly increased the attractiveness of
the courses.
But three changes among the officers
and board of instruction are noted this
year. Mr.. and Mrs. c. X. Klnne, for
some time steward and matron, respee-
lively, are succeeded by Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert n Gilman, who came to God
