Already there are more students in college than there were last year, and when the last stragglers are gathered into the fold the total will be much greater. Reg istrar Tiffany’s prediction of an en rollment of 800 will certainly be ful filled by the time the annual rein forcements are received in February, if not before. All of which is the more remarka ble when the depletion of the student body by the withdrawal of the engin eering courses is taken into account. It is estimated that the dictum of the Board of Higher Curricula condemn ing these courses here and at the Ag ricultural College, cost the University more than 100 students. In other words, at one stride we have overcome a setback which was expected to retard the growth of the student body for several years. The secret of the increase is found in the size of the Freshman class, which will probably exceed by 150 that of any previous year The preset Senior class will be the most meager graduated from Oregon in many years. This is largely due to the fact that the mem bers of the 1915 class chose to follow the uncertain fortunes of the Univer sity when the referendum turmoil was at its thickest and the future was bar ren of promise. When we look across the next four years to the time when the present Freshmen will be Seniors, with each succeeding lower class larger than its predecessor, the dream of a student body truly representative of this state seems a possibility. > TO CORRESPONDENTS The first communication received by the Emerald cannot be published, because it is not accompanied by the name of the author. An in the past, the Emerald will be glad to open its columns to the discussion of live is sues by its readers, and in order that this discussion be straightforward, it is essential that anonymous opinion be precluded. For this reason we must insist that communications be signed. If requested, the name of the writer will be withheld, although we can see no reason for such superlative modesty. We hope we shall not be compelled again to reject a contribution because it violates this rule. Contending that the meeting was disorganized and that they did notf know whom they were voting for, the Freshmen of the University of Washington will contest the election^ of Virginia Madigan, secretary, and Wade Hargraves, treasurer, who were voted into office at the Freshman claas meeting.
