NATIONAL j. GETS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Spring Term Opens With
Record Attendance in His
tory of Institution.

The Spring term of National Uni
versity opened Friday night with the
largest enrolment in the history of
the university both in the law school
and in the college of finance and busi-
ness administration. Registrations
were opened some weeks ago and
practically all students who were
taking the Winter term which end
ed Thursday night will continue their
studies throughout the school year.
The enrolment of new students either
taking up the study of law for the
first time or entering upon credits
earned at other approved universe
ties was greater than at any previous
term, with the exception of the usual
influx of new students at the begin
ming of the fall terms each year in
the law school. The number of new
students entering the college OF
finance and business administration
was very heavy.
All examinations were completed
Thursday night and the Spring term
opened Friday without any loss of
time Instructors have been instructed
by the dean to rate all papers prompt
ly.
The new term arrangement adopted
some time ago is proving popular with
students, particularly those taking up
the study of law BY making the
school year, any three terms to con-
stitute a school year, and dividing
the regular school year into the Fall,
Winter and Spring terms, each being
separate term for the purpose of
earning credits, students are enabled
to enter either in October, January,
March or June and enter new classes
| in the subjects assigned to them
New Courses offered.

for the Spring term, which, coupled with
