Wagnejr, C. PP. S„ Ph. D., as subdeacon, and Rev. S. Kuhnmuench, as master of ceremonies. The faculty and teaching staff remain the same as that of last year with the exception of Rev. I. A. Wagner, C. PP. S., Ph. D., iwho has beep appointed a new member of the faculty. Dr. Wagner is a graduate of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.

With the experience he has had in giving lectures at the Catholic University summer school, the college is very fortunate in securing his service for the scientific department. The enrollment of students is the largest St. Joseph’s has had. All available room is occupied, and late applicants will have to be refused admission for there will be no place to harbor them. The list of students shows a representation of all the central state. The many improvements that were made during the vacation months were a delight to the old students. The cement bottom of the lake and the curbing greatly enhance the appearance of the east lawn. Other improvements add greatly to the convenience and usefulness for the students.
