Since the time when the Reverend Bayard R.

Today there is a total enrollment of tHO thousand. There are eleven magnificent buildings, on the most beau- tiful campus in this country. The curriculum has been enlarged by the addition of a School of Journalism, a School of Music and a Medical School which rivals the best in the country.
