registration of students, marking the
opening of the fifty-fifth year since
the founding of the college.
In regard to enrolment prospects,
finances, faculty. quality of courses
offered and athletics and other stu
dent activities, the condition of Wash
burn seems excellent.
1t least 1000 students are expected
to enroll. Interest in Washburu has
increased In all parts of the state, &C
cording to Coach E. E. Bearg and
A. R. Crawford, who have been trav-
cling over Kansas during the summer
to promote the college enrolment and
advertise the college. Bearg was
coach at Washburn several years and
Crawford was graduated last January
from the college. Crawford has been
made office assistant to President P.
P. Womer, a new position created re-
Gently No effort is being spared to
make the work profitable to incom-
ing students. College authorities state
that never before has there been so
large a number of inquiries and so
many advance registrations as this
year.
An important development this year
at the college is the extension of the
law school course to four years from
a three year course. The teaching
staff of the law school now includes
three fun time instructors, in addi-
ton to the excellent assistance of
judges and lawyers of Topeka.

Washburn spirit should be strong this
year. for it is known that at least half
of the star athletes of last year will
return and Crawford said today that
every star athlete in the
1920 high school graduating classes
of the state is planning to come to
Washburn. The tendency of athletes
to choose Washburn is the result of
Washburn's athletic record last year,
when it stood near the top in the
forty athletic contests in which it par
