The establishment of the new school
was recently made possible by the sue
cess Of the million dollar campaign Of
the college, during which Richmond
people subscribed $500. 0O0.
Probably the first new building
erected on the campus at Westhamp-
ton will be a dormitory for women
on the south side of Westhampton
Lake, The point has now been
reached at Westhampton college
where the authorities are forced to
turn away applicants for rooms at the
institution because Of inability to
furnish housing facilities. One hun
dred and seventy-ave women have al
ready been accepted for the session Of
1920. This is eighty-fve in ex-
cess Of the boarding enrolment for
any year since the establishment of
the college in 1914.
Because of the unusually heavy ad-
vance matriculation at Westhampton
college President Boatwright said
yesterday that the total enrolment of
boarding students and day students
would probably exceed ESQ. A large
number of day students can be ac-
commodated but all available roons
have been reserved and twenty. five
applications have had to be refused.
1t was found impossible TO secure
houses in the neighborhood of the col
lege to house the overflow.
All of the furniture and equipment
of the college which was moved into
Richmond when the plant and build
ing was vacated for use as a hospital
has now been sent back to Westhamp-
ton and additional pieces of furniture
have been purchased for the large
number of new students. Three gangs
of workmen are now putting the
grounds and buildings of both Rich
mond and Westhampton college In
shape for occupancy this fall after
their use for a year for the debarka-
ton hospital for caring for sick and
wounded overseas soldiers.
