Second Summer Session for Teach-
The second summer session for
teachers enrolled 215 students, a
gain of 46 per cent. over that of the
preceding session. 45 counties
were represented. This is ten more
than were represented at the first
session.
So far as the authorities have
been able to determine, those in at
tendance were pleased with the in
struction, the advantages for work,
the attractiveness of the surround
ings, and the profit derived from
the entertainments, excursions,
picnics, and free lectures.
Most of the summer session
students roomed and boarded in
McAllister Hall, which was under
college management during the en
tire session. A regularly employed
preceptress was in charge.
The following is a comparison of
statistics of credits obtained in the
courses offered during the first two
sessions:
1911 1910
Agriculture 23 t 3
Botany 11 18

Registration Statistics
'lhe annual registration of stu
dents has been very promptly cai
ried out this semester, and the re

last year. On September 21st,
there were 608 new students,

ing a total number of 171 in that

enrollment was 1186, it has now in
creased to over 2000. The Fresh
man class will have between 500
and 600 members, and although 24
new houses have been erected in
the village since last fall, a few have
found difficulty in securing lodging.
The Forestry course has a num
ber of new foreign students, repre
senting . Argentine, Brazil, Russia,
Turkey, China, Persia, Sweden,
Hungary, Poland, Porto Rico, and
Cuba.
