Registration and attendance for
the intensive summer course in

rapidly becoming more fully appre'

include many who soon win return

Inquiries frequently come. to the
officials of the school concerning
the religious complexion OF the
student body. It is. impossible to
answer any Of these with any def.
niteness because no record Is made
OF the religious beliefs OF the stu
dents, but it may be said that the
various religious faiths are well
represented among the students.
In the earlier years OF the schools
existence, because OF the large
number of ex-service men who were
in attendance, there was q wide
