College Campaign Started.

Professor W. S. Bowers of William

secretary of the field work now start
ed for the obtaining of new students
for that college for the coming year.
selected as assistant in the work, and
the men are already actively engaged
IN the work. Heretofore the territory
covered by the field secretary has been
merely our own county, but this year
the canvass will extend over adjoin-
ing counties. Professor Baumeister is
working primarily in the interests of
the agriculture department, but hav-
ing been registrar for the past two
years, he is also very familiar with
the workings of the other departments
and so will be ably fitted to cooperate
with Professor Bowers in the inter-
ests Of the college as an entirety
Prospects for another most success
full school year at William and Vashti
are bright. Already many rooms have
been engaged for the coming year in
each dormitory and many new stu
dents have thus early signed up for
the fall term of college work. With a
little cooperation from the people of
our city these two proficient field
workers will be able to build up a
greater student body than any pre-
vlous one and the community will
benefit by it greatly. Boost for Will
liam and Vashti should be the slogan
of each and every loyal Aledoan, for
William and Vashti college is our col
lege and during its existence has won
an enviable reputation among the
colleges of its class in the state.
