HAVERFORD COLLEGE OPENS
Present Not Time to Drift, Or. Com.
fort Tells CIassn,en

'"The present is not the time in the
worlds history for man to shut his
eyes and drift" said William Wistar
Comfort, president Of Haverford Col
lege, In the opening exercises held In
Roberts Hall today. He urged the col
lege body to make the best of It's time
in the coming year.
Haverford opened its eighty eighth
year with the greatest registration ever
known at the Quaker institution. Two
hundred and twenty two students are
enrolled on the list Of the Main Line
college. thirteen more than the then
record breaking enrolment Of last yenr
which totaled 200. These 224 are d.
vided among the graduate students and
classes as follows: Graduate students,
4 seniors, 40, juniors, AZ; sophomores,
82, and freshmen, o.. Between eighty
and one hundred men applied for the
freshman class this year, but the on
trance examinations eliminated n gnod
many. and but sixty seven satisfactorily
passed the requirements.
Additional dormitory accommodations
in old Founders Hall were constructed
during the summer and these are barely
sufficient to take care Of the enlarged
enrolment. Haverford has always been
noted for ample class room and labora
tory equipment and these will not be
taxed in the least this winter.

President Harding, in a message to the

COUNCIL FACTIONS
SEEK MONTGOMERY
Both Combines and Mayors
Friends Want His Voting
Power
MAY GO ALONG WITH MOORE

The Combine faction and friends Of
the Mayor are trying to line up Hugh
Il. Montgomery, Councilman from the
Seventh District and friend Of Judge
Brown.
From authoritative sources II was
learned that Montgomery will line up
with the friends of Mayor Moore, al
though prior to election he often voted
with the Combine forces.
The importance Of Montgomery
vote will be realised when It is under
stood that the Mayors friends in Coun-
ell, provided Montgomery goes along
with them, will be able to prevent the
Combine from passing bills over the
Mayors veto.
II the Fifteenth Ward member fops
back to the Administration, Judge
Brown will be in a splendid strategic
position from which to manipulate deals
on important issues. as the lineup will
be twelve to nine in favor of the Com
bine, and IL takes three fifths vote,
or thirteen. to pass bill over the
Mayors disapproval.
With the important gas question
about to come up for consideration, the
situation will be entirely changed II
Montgomery stays with the Mayor. The
opinion was general that Immediately
after election Council would take steps
to aid the United Gas Improvement
Company and go through with 1t, re-
gardless of the Mayors attitude. With
only twelve votes, however, they will
have nothing to do but to allow the
Mayors vetoes to stand.
Montgomery is chairman Of the Com
mittee on Public Utilities and Trans
portation. He Is also n member of the
Special Committee on Gas.
