Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-09-29

When interviewed this morning
Professor Wendell p. Raine, con-
nected with the teaching staff of the
university extension school, stated that
he made a special trip to Philadel-
phia to induce Provost Edgar Fahs
Smith to be present at the opening
meeting of the Harrisburg extension
school, to which the provost con-
sented.
The original plan was to have the
opening exercises October 3. How
ever, DR.. Smith stated that other pre-
vious university engagements made 1t
impossible for him to be here on that
date, and as Tuesday, October 6, was
his only available evening it was
deemed wise to change the date of
opening to Tuesday evening, Octo-
her 6, at 8 o'clock. The auditorium
of the Technical high school will be
Ifused.
Several prominent Harrisburg men
have consented to speak, among them
DR.. Thomas Lynch Montgomery, State
Librarian; the Rt. Rev. James H.
Darlington, bishop of the Harrisburg
Protestant Episcopal diocese; Spencer
C. Gilbert. prominent business man;
William Is. McCaleb. superintendent of
the Philadelphia division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad; C. Harry Kain,
well-known architect, and the Rev.
DR.. John ID. Fox. of Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Enrolment Leading Reading
The enrolment is now getting
within the shadow of the 200 mark
and those most closely connected with
the work predict such an enrolment
before the official opening,
Harrisburg is to be congratulated.
says Mr.. Raine, on the fact that three
of her fair daughters have enrolled
for the extension school work. While
the number is small, it is most graft
| flying for the first year.
