Under the command of Colonel Howard E. Price, 600 were enrolled in the first military courses. The frosh were treated to their first collegiate foot- ball rally as a warm up for the A.I.C. game.

His successor was announced to be Dr. William C. White. Football fans suffered a setback as N.U. ' s win streak New frosh look slightly bewildered during a break in orientation week meetings.
