cision reached at a meeting OF the
board OF regents OF the institution
yesterday afternoon.
The full course in mechanical en-

IL was pointed out, and the full course
in electrical engineering has not been
given because Of the lack o. demand
for It. There has been. however, a
general and increasing demand Tor the
courses in civil engineering and sugar
technology.
The new college year has begun WITH
an increase In enrolment, and great
er development of college spirit than
has ever bee& known, An interesting
point brought out yesterday was that
the students at the college are study

Another interesting feature is that
all the graduates Of the college are
succeeding rapidly in civil life and
