ST. JOSEPH COLLEGE ENJOYS GOOD GROWTH.

Enrollment Shows Proportionate Increase—Changes in Faculty— Other College News.

The inauguration of the forty-first term of academic work took place at St. Joseph’s College last Thursday. The enrollment of students has increased tn due proportion with the former development of the institution, in fact, there is very little unoccupied space in any of the college buildings. Moreover, the outward appearance of the new student body augurs well for a most successful scholastic year. Nearly all the members of the old faculty are again at their posts of duty. The new board of directors, however, found it fit to introduce a few changes. Rev. B. Besinger, who for nine years was active disciplinarian, was called to a pastoral charge at Bryant, Ind.; Rev. Id. Rapp is the present incumbent of that most difficult position. Rev. A. Scheidler will act as Father Rapp’s assistant. Rev. Justin Henkel, of St. Francis, Ohio, appointee to the college faculty. Th. Sauer is succeeded by T. F. Kramer as director of the athletic department. Prof. J. Nowak, of Denver, Colth, will be assistant music teacher to Prof. W. Leo Havorkd. Rev. Sylvester Hartman, C. PP. S., returned on Wednesday evening from his extensive trip through Europe. Father Hartman's health is much improved, and he is ready to enter upon /his academic A duties with renewed spirit and energy. During the course of the year he will deliver some talks about the interesting phases of his wide travels.

Cyrus Staib and Herman Gabel, of last year’s class, and Henry Grimmeisman, ’O9, on last Thursday sailed for Europe, where they will continue their studies at the world famous University of Innsbruck. A large number of visitors were with us during the last week, mostly the parents, guardians or friends of the new students.
