.BEREA OPENS WINTER
Term ON DEC. 81

Berea College, with its Nor
NAL and Vocational Schools,
Academy and Foundation School,
starts for its winter term on We'd
ncsday, the day before New
Years.
The enormous rush OF new stu
dents makes it necessary to warn
one and all that no one should
come to enter any department 0
the institution unless a room has
been engaged in advance.
The attendance for the fall
term was 500 more than ever be-
fore, and while Hunting Hall for
academy men is being enlarged
and all possible beds provided in
attics. and barracks, it seems in
evitable that great numbers will
be turned away.
If you desire place write to
Secretary Marshall L. Vaughn at
once.
Every new student will have a
brief medical examination on en-
tering. The institution has the
most perfect arrangements Tor
caring for any illness, and while
three contagious diseases came to
town during the fall not one OF
them was allowed to spread.
In providing rooms preference
will be given to students who
have been teaching and return to
finish course in some department.
No new students can be received
for the Academy or Foundation.
There is room for few students
in printing.
