Review of University Work.
DR.. Lewis in resume of work
done by the university for students in
an assembly last week pointed out
the attitude of the administration in
the matter Of student activities.
DR.. Lewis called attention to the
fact that during the week 2S3 exami'
nations were listed among 400 courses
offered in the university. It was
noted that 200 classes were in session
daily at the university and that addi
tionaI courses were offered and con
ltemplated from time to time.
Student activities, the extra-curricula
work, such as foot ball, basket ball
and the like, as well as athletics for
women, were pointed out as having
drawn greater numbers the past year
than ever before. DIR. Lewis called
attention to the fact that the admin
Iistration believed in education fol
leisure time. He pointed out progress
made in athletics for both men and
women and outlined the growth OF
other student activities under the
supervision and control Of university
lauthorities.
In. music, debating, rifle shooting
dramatics and other activities there
has been remarkable increase OF
interest:
George Washington University

ward definitely aligning the institution
! with the graduate and will be used in
