CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan 9.-The
second term OF the l914-19l5 session
OF Clemson COLLEGE opened Tuesday
morning, 'anuar 5. with nearly all
| the old students In their places and
with few new ones. There are only
ten vacant places in barracks. Last
year at this time there were 730 stu
dents attending classes; while this
year there are 748. There ase G2 more
men In college classes now than were
In the same classes last year. This in
crease In the college classes is due In
part 10 the fact that the preparatory
class has been abolished. The work of
the new year has started we'll. Presi-
dent Riggs made an appropriate ad-
dress at the re3pening on Tuesday
morning.
The total amount received from the
fertilizer tax for the first six months
OF the fiscal year, beginning with July
], Is $6995.26. The amount received
during a similar period last year was
probably twice as much.
President w. NJ. Riggs has received
q letter from John ID. Rockefeller con-
graduating the college on raising its
part OF the $4,000 fund for the erec-
tion of the Y. NJ. C. A. building. and
Informing him that the $4,000 given
by Mr.. Rockefeller was ready for the
project when needed. Bids for the con-
struction of. the building will be called
for about February /, and work will
begin about March.
There will be a meeting Of the farm
demonstration agents OF the State
held at, Clemson In the later part OF
January. DIR. w. w. Long, who is at
the head OF this work in South Caro-
lima, Is expecting full attendance
and good meeting.
The federal government has promis-
ed to furnish Clemson with All expert
on marketing.
The winter short term for farmers
has not been offered this year, be-
cause so few farmers are able to leave
their work for SO long a time at the
beginning OF the year. The course Will
be given In the summer, likely dur
ing August, IL conditions will permit.
At meeting of the Alumni Associa-
tion held last summer, committee
was appointed to petition tho board
of trustees to name the new athletic
grounds riggs Field" In honor of
President w. NJ. Riggs, the founder OF
athletics at Clemson. At its last meet
Ing the board OF trustees unanimously
complied with this request President
Riggs has always taken great interest
In athletics, and he is now the presi-
dent OF the S. l. A. a.
