Tt Is a great satisfaction to renort to the trustees that, following two years of earnest discussion, the student body has nnally adopted by unanimous vote a con- sttution which, while recognizing the au- thority of the university administration as superior to their own is designed to erect system of self government based on simple rules established and ordained py their own action. This I regard as great achievement. It would be difficult 10 assess al its real value this simple Fundamental step. It is perfectly clear to

 Registration of Students

This Is by far the largest registration Known in the entire history of the Uni- Nersity of Alabama. The total registra- ton one year ago was 1167.
 The foregoing exhibit will be gratify
 ing to the friends of the University of Alabama. During the year 1911-12. includ- ing the school of medicine and the sum- mer school, there were registered a total of 7s5 students. This session the total number is 12s3, exclusive of the registra- tion of the graduate school of medicine in Birmingham. Two years ago there were enrolled at Tuscaloosa in the regu- lar winter session only 390 students. Dur ing the present session there were enrolled SIS students. A distinguished American, who thoroughly understands educational conditions in this country, recently re- marked to me that considering the re- sources at our command. American college is able to produce record of such substantial progress as has charac- terized the recent history of the Uni versity of Alabama. It is a fact how ever. that we have reached the limit of our numerical growth pending the time when the legislature shall provide the money necessary to enlarge the teaching force and to provide additional dormi- tories.

This action has been universally acclaimed. There can be no question that the provision hitherto made for young women has been entirely un- worthy of a great seat of learning.
