Will Else Large More than three hundred applica— tions have been received to date by the Registrar for enrollment in the Freshman class next fall, and several hundred more applications are expected. The Dean’s office, coincident with this announcement, states that none of the applications al- ready received have as yet been accepted, and that none will be accepted for some time because the bull: of the applications arrive after the high school graduations. Selection of applicants will be made on a basis of scholarship, student activity, and character. The three hundred requests al~ ready in the Dean’s Office do not include the fifty scholarships granted yearly; twenty-five in Fire Protection Engineering and twen— ty-five general scholarships to graduates of Cool: County high schools. Therefore, of the regular applications received, two hundred will be accepted by September. The selection of students accord- ing to ability instead of priority of application, started in 1924, has greatly increased the percentage of entrants which graduate. The following table shows this effect: Entrance Per Cent to Year Graduate 1920 ....................... 28.9% 1921 . 28.9% 1922 . . . . 29.7% 1923 ....................... 23.4% Selections Begun . . 35.5% ..... 36.2% Summer School Students who expect to attend summer school must turn their ap— plications to the Dean’s Office at once. In order to make the sched— ule, the emcers of administration must know the number of students wishing to attend and the subjects they require.
