WILL LIMIT ENROLMENT

After $50 students have secured
admission to Washington College for
the coming academic year no more
applicants will be considered Tor
1927-28, it has been decided by the
Board of Visitors and Governors or
the Chestertown institution. An
nouncement to that effect was made
by president Paul e. Ellsworth PRIOR
to his recent departure for Europe
and following a limitation placed
upon the enrolment of the we'll
known school by the governing board
after the full complement OF students
has been admitted all the remaining
applicants will be placed on walt
ing list for the following academic
year. Since applications for admis-
sion are said to be coming into the
executive offices of the college at
more rapid rate than ever before In
it's history it is thought likely the
limit fixed will shortly be reached.
1t is the first time in the history OF
the 145 year old college that such
step has been taken. The decision
was made necessary by the growing
popularity of the school throughout
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula and States
contiguous to Delaware Maryland
and Virginia.
