HALT CALLED ON FRESHMEN REGISTRATION AT PURDUE.

Owing to the unprecedented enrollment in the freshman class at Purdue university/which went above the 1,200 mark yesterday, one-third larger than normal, no more students will be accepted in that class after today. This announcement was made by President W. E. Stone after a meeting of the executive committee had been called to discuss the matter. The ruling does not apply to upper classmen, President Stone said. More than 2,500 students, the largest enrollment in the history of the university, have registered.
