with success. Last year nearly a

year Maryland became a co-educa-
tional institution.
Dormitories for male students of
the university also are certain to be
taxed to .theirs Mttn9sktfor 1923-2N as
they were ,ldurfhgsfSthe 1929 ses-
sions. and many of the youths who
would continue their education in the
various" colleges here are likely to
fail of admission. This is made very
evident from the applications re-
usually heavy for SO early a period.
Maryland has grown from an in
stitution of less than $50 students to
nearly. 800 in. the past eight years
and its further expansion is retarded
only by the lack of facilities to care
for those who are anxious to get
their higher education here.
