SECTIONS FORMED
OF N. u. SUBJECTS
Division Is Found Necessary,
Due to Large Enrolment
at University.

The heavy advance enrolment at
National University. both in the law
school and in the new school of busi-
ness administration. has forced the
school to divide nearly all of the
major subjects into sections. to add
several new minor subjects which II
was not intended to offer. and to add
many new teachers to the faculty to
take care of the extra subjects
The enrolment in the law school
already is far in advance of any year
since the university was chartered
fifty-hve years ago by Congress, and
there is nearly two weeks more to
go. which is usually the time In which
most of the registrations are made.

ii may be necessary to close regis
trations before the opening of school
In the law school department, but IL
is believed that all applicants for the
school of business administration can
be taken care of. The class on GRIM

probably be divided into three Sec

Departments to Open.
Both departments of the University
will open October 1, with complete
courses. On account of the large reg
istration In the school of business ad-
ministration several additions have
been made to the faculty. One of the
new additions is DR.. W. H. S. Stevens,
who will be professor of marketing
and industrial organization.
The four-term system will prevail,
same as in the law school, which
makes 1t possible to obtain credit for
one and one-third years work in one
calendar year. 1t was not intended
to give any third and fourth year
work until the summer of 1924, but it
has been found necessary to give ad-
vanced courses in marketing, busi-
ness organization and economics.
