During the first session, 1909-1910, 209 .students were enrolled. They repre- sented forty-seven counties and eight cities of the state. The average age of students the first session was twenty years. The first reception given to the students by the faculty was held Friday night, October 8, 1909. The Governor ' s visit came just ten days later. On the 30th of the same month the initial trip was made to Ashby Monument; and on the first Hallowe ' en the faculty were made to see no end of spooks on a trip through the lower regions- that is to say, the ungraded basement of Science Hall. The most remarkable achievement of the first session was the production of the first number of Tin-: Schoolma ' am. In less than three months and a half, from March 1 to June 12, 1910, the idea was conceived, a staff was elected, a name was chosen, copy was manufactured, ads were captured, proofs were read, books were printed, bound, distributed, and paid for, with a substantial balance in the bank.

among the first girls at Blue-Stone Hill. This name, Blue-Stone Hill, came into currency shortly after Christmas the first session, when President Burruss found the song of the same name in his mail box. Other celebrities that have graced our campus in succeeding years are Clara Barton, Grace Darling, Mary Garden, ( J. Farrar, Kathleen Mavourneen, and Nellie ( iray. During thirteen days, from September 22 to ( )ctober 4, 1909, there were seven faculty meetings! But inasmuch as most of them were held before the students came, they had no special significance. September 28 was tirst registration day, and on Thursday morning, the 30th, the first general assembly of the school was held in the rooms of Science Hall that are now the chemical and physical laboratories. The rostrum was at the east end of the hall.
