Dr. Denny's Report to the Trustees Shows Most Re- markabIe Year in
 History

University, May 2s.-(Special)-In his report to the board of trustees of the University of Alabama pr. George Il. Denny, president, will tomorrow make public figures showing the largest en- rollment in the history of the institu- tion.
 The total number of students registered in all departments has been 1720. They have been distributed as follows:
 College of arts and sciences, 6O6; col lege of engineering, no; school of law, 127, school of medicine, 45 school Of pharmacy, &; school of education, 266; total, 1162; names counted twice, 224; net total during regular session, 93s; sum mer schf I, TSP; grand total 1720
 This / 2by far the largest registration known in the entire history of the Uni versit of Alabama. The total registra- tion, s1including the summer school and the school of medicine, five years ago was only 7S5 The growth of the insti- tuition in point of numbers has been re- ma rkable.
 T desire to call attention says the report, Ito the fact that quite a number were allowed to withdraw from college early ia May. They are to receive their degrees precisely as if they had remained in col lege until the end of the year. I may here add that many undergraduates were granted permission to enter the train ing camp.
 The health of the student body has been wonderfully good. Our community Is now rated 100 per cent sanitary by tho federal health authorities This, conceive, to be an enormous asset 1 have, for two years, given to this whole p, oblem constant attention. l have my reward in the end that has been achieved
 T am informed that the list of men from Alabama admitted to the training camp at Fort McPherson discloses the fact that the University of Alabama IS more largely represented at the camp than all the other Alabama colleges com bined. This is matter of just pride. 1t shows that the quality of men who re- ceive training here is exceptional It is in fact remarkable when one considers that military training was abolished b years ago. and was not restored until the fall of 1916
 
 the University of Alabama have the undl- vided confidence of the student body Trey have been faithful and painstaking They are able and conscientious and popular. modern college hosLl ltal is one of our most pressing needs. We are, however, fortunate in having access for the time being to private hospital in the city.
