ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE STARTS WEDNESDAY.

More Applications Than Can Be Accommodated—Biulding Improvements Delayed. . St. Joseph’s college will start its year Wednesday, when all the students will have arrived and the first recitations will be heard. The boys began coming last week and are now swarming in from all parts of the country in large numbers. More applications were on file than could bee accommodated and some had to be denied admission this year. The same condition prevailed a year ago. The attendance this year will be from 300 to 320. The members of the faculty, who have been spending their vacations in various places, have all arrived and are now ready for another successful of the college. There were only two changes in the faculty. One was occasioned by the resignation of Father Augustine Seifert, whose place is to be filled by Father Hugo, who has been a member of the faculty for several years. The place made vacant by his advancement will be filled by Father Isador Collins, while Father Linnemap will fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Father G. Hartjens, who has taken up pastoral work and is now at Loretta, Ohio. Fathers Collins and Linneman are both from the seminary, having graduated soirie years ago from St. Joseph’s. There has been considerable delay in the raising of the gymnasium, owing to the delay in securing the timbers necessary. These are now coming and the work will be pushed. Frank Medland, the contract or for the 'brick work, was over from Logansport today, and stated that it will be about two weeks before the building will be raised so that he can start operations. Several of the students were gathered on the campus Sunday and indulged in a ball.game. It- is prob abel that several will be played yet this fall between the secular and religious students.
