pressed upon the young people OF the
country the necessity for advanced cdu-
cation. The first dormitory for young
men, opened last week, does not begin
TO meet the demand and the university
authorities are being kept busy to Oh
tain sufficient accommodations on the
outside.

been doubled in capacity since last

accommodate the increased GnroIlmcnt
