MANY STUDENTS AT COLLEGE
Enrollment Shows An Increase of 40
Per Cent Over Opening Day of
Last Year.
Short exercises in the chapel Wed
nesday morning opened what bids
iair to De tne most successful year
that Dallas College has yet enjoyed
These exercises were short and rather
informal, consisting of vocal and
instrumental music, and appropriate
addresses of welcome by the various
members of the faculty. Immediately
after their close, the work of registra
tion and classification was begun.
Many friends and alumni attended
-this first chapel session, and a large
number of the old students have
returned to continue their work, but
the most encouraging feature of all
is tne great preponderance or new
faces in the assembled' student body.
The exact number of students enrolled
for the year's work cannot be definitely
determined before next week, as new
ones will continue to come in daily.
President Mock; however, is well satis1
fled with the attendance thus far, and
says that the first day's enrollment
was 40 per cent greater than it was
last year.
The faculty has been strengthened
by the addition of two competent
instructors, Mrs. N. W. Sager, who will
have the chair of history, and Miss
Hallie Morrison, who-will preside over
the vocal department of the musical
work. Otherwise the personnel of the
faculty will be the same that it was
last year.
With this corps of strong educators
at its head, and with its continually
growingband of adherents and patrons
In Polk and the surroundingcounties,
Dallas College seems destined to enjoy
a year of unprecedented progress and
prosperity.
