Expect Big Year For Hoo6
College.

"There has been an unprecedented
demand for rooms at Hood College this
year" That is what President Joseph
H. Apple and Vice President, Rev. c.
E. Wehler. told a reporter recently in
talking of the enrolment of the college
for the college term, beginning Septem-
Der 18th, when the doors will open to
the largest student body in its history.
The enrolment of the institution is just
one month in advance of that Of last
wear. All of this work has been con-
Quoted entirely by mail and correspond
ence, while other seminaries and col
leges, the oldest in the country, have
their agents out soliciting for students,
and then report that adverse conditions
in the business world has caused a
slump in the enrolment in the largest
schools of the country.
Hood College has become famous
by the principle "a maximum course for
a minimum cost" 1t is believed that
because OF this fact, and because each
year students from all parts Of the coun-
try come to this institution for instruc-
ton, that there has been such an unpre-
cedented demand for rooms at the col
lege. The business conditions reported
to be very unstable throughout the coun-
try, have been help rather than det-
riment TO the college in this city.
