Columbia University is making prep
arations to care for the largest num-
Der of summer school students in it's
history. Applications for admission
are being received in greater volume
than in any previous year and Profess
sor John J. Coss, the director. stated
yesterday that this years attendance
probably would exceed 10000.
The influx Of this student body, in
which every state and many foreign
countries will be represented, has pre-
sented a problem in housing which the
Columbia authorities feel they have
solved. Purchases by the university Of
several large apartment houses have
added materially to the housing facil-
tiles on Morningside and these will be
available in handling the summer school
contingent. Janus Court at LOG Morn
ownership will bear the name of Seth

a woman's dormitory, and VIII be util-
lied by summer session students. Other

ems dormitories.
