several omcerS ut the university,
the 1910 figure should be around

The entering class In the school
Of engineering and architecture, ac-
cording to Dean Anthony j. Scul.en,
is now as large as the 1898 registra-
ton of LOG. which was the largest in
the schools history. With an enroll
ment of 260 the engineering school
is now the largest in its history.
The most popular course among
the freshmen Is aeronautical en-
gineering, with architectural en-
gineering q close second. The same
ratio has been observed throughout
the entire school.
Resident Facilities Crowded.
The dean of the college of arts
and sciences. the Rev. Dr. James M
Campbell, reports an appreciable in
crease in freshman enrollments
among both the lay and religious
groups. There has been a general
increase throughout the entire COL
lege, he reports.
Residence accommodations on the
campus are being taxed to more
than their capacity. 1t is probable
that some of the lay students will
be required to take rooms on
campus. Not until the registration
determine the exact numbers of
period Is over will 1t be possible to
rooms needed, however.
Because of the need for additional
class room space, the university
museum has been moved from the
third floor Of Mcmahon Hall to
make room for an addition to the
biology laboratory. Part of the
museum collection has been placed
in the foyer of the Mullen Library
with the greater part occupying
new quarters in the shrine. The
collection is being reclassified and
reorganized under the direction of
