OPENING OF COLLEGE.
College opened Thursday morn
ing, Sept. rsth, with chapel exer
cises at eight o'clock. The regis
tration up to date had been a little
below that of last year at the same
time, but this VillS accounted for by
the large numbir of old men out on
conditions. The incoming class
numbers about two hundred and
fifty Men, considerably less than
had been anticipated.
President Atherton welcomed the
old and new men with his usual
felicity and gave the latter some
good advice on their future conduct
in college. After the exercises, the
rest of the day was spent in the
usual organization of classes.
Looking about for familiar faces,
quite a number are found missing.
The Senior class numbers about
ninety, the Juniors, one hundred
and ten, and the Sophomores, one
hundred and seventy.
Among the faculty nod instruc-
tors there, are guile a number of

put up a game fight against his

of the light-weights was the chief
event of the evening, It lasted one
hour and a quarter and finally re

This page is reproduc

the first publication at
the College ever to carry
the name Collegian. It
is the oldest direct ances
tor of the Daily Colle
gian, which this year
marks its tenth• year of
daily publication.
The State Collegian
was the successor to a
campus literary maga
zine, the Free Lance. The
Lance lived for 17 years
on an irregvlar monthly
publication schedule. In
1904. however, the staff
realized that a monthly
could not serve the infor
mation needs of 'a rapidly
growing College, and
abandoned the Lance for
a weekly newspaper. It
was the first attempt to
produce a real news
paper at the College.
In Sept. 1911, the pap
