the school/ according to an an-
nouncement made this week by
Porter S. Garner, president.
“Expectation of an increased at-
tendance is based on th'e large
number of advance reservations,
which at this time far exceed those
of any previous year,’’"Mr. Garner
said.
„ 'Cause for the increase in enroll-
ment is attributed by Mr. Garner
to the addition of several new
courses, to the employment of sev-
eral outstanding teachers on the
faculty, and to the improvements
t in. the physical plant and the or-
sa}e ganization of the college that have
-taken place‘during the summer.
