The iucre;lse in  atteudanl>C of young

Our sludellts ha\Te urged for some 
time  the  Ilccessity  of  n  ~rnmasiunl. 
They  call  our  attention  to  the  fnct 
that  there  arc  regularly  enrolled 
more than one  thous:md  youn g  lIIen 
each  year,  with;tll addition  of l1ea fl~' 
four hUlldred  young  men  in  eight

foom  is 
in  use  by  the  milir:lry  de 
partment during  practically  all  the 
hours which  might  be 1I\':!i la ble  for 
gYTllnasium  work, hence  it  is  not 
far  from  t.he  literal  truth  to slty  that 
this  college  offers  no  ~:'} mnll.!liulll 
facilities to its male s tudellts.  These 
youllg  men  nrc  husky,  \-igorous 
fellows,  and  need  vcry  much  regu·
