From St. Joseph’s College This Year for Lack of Room. ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR 304 And More Could have been Had If There Had Been Room to Accomodate Them. The opening of the twenty-second scholastic year at St. Joseph’ College \\ ednesday was indeed one of the most auspicious in the history of w the institution. And all present indications are favorable to a most successful term. The solemn' high mass was sung by Rev. William Arnold, Peru Ind., assisted by Rev. M. Ehleringer, C. PP. S. as deacon; Rev. I. A. Wagner, C. PP. S.. Ph. D., as subdeacon, and Rsv. 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., who has been appointed a new member of the faculty. Dr. W’agner is a graduate of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., and also of Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Md. With the experiences he has had in giving lectures at the Cathodic Universtiy summer school the college is very fortunate in securing his services for the scientific department. The enrollment of students is the largest St. Joseph’s has had. All room is occupied, and late applicants will have to be refused admission for there is no place to harbor them. The list of students shows a representation of all the central states. The total enrollment is noty ohT, T ffmore than last year, and reservations have been made for a few who will start in later. 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 usefullness for the students.
