From the University of Pennsylvania Illustrated. FRANCIS C. GRANT From the 1919 Scope-- Grant is an amateur pugilist of ability, but the cham- pionship he holds lies' in another field: he is the best sleeper during lectures of any we can boast, and that's saying a whole lot. He plays no favorites, but picks out a prominent front seat, and then saws wood class after class. CHARLES C. WOLFERTH From the 1912 Scope- ln football, Wol- ferth is known wherever the game is played.

Mississippi sent as many as 25 at one time, but has not been very well represented since the War The enrollment trom the northern states was not attected as much by the War as might have been expected.

From time to time its facilities have been increased to keep pace with the demands of modern science. From the University of Pennsylvania Illustrated. West Virginia by l3. ln the days betore a limit was set on the size ot our classes, We had auite a number ot students trom South and Central America, but with the increase in the number ot applicants who are citizens ot the United States, the number ot toreign students admitted has decreased. l do not teel that We can properly teach more students than We now admit, I think a wide geographical distribution ot students is a good thing tor our School. Most students return to their homes to practice. We do not want to become too provincial an institution. The selection ot the First Year Class in these days is a ditticult task. In l9l2, I tirst admitted a class. Only 6l aualitied students applied, and all were admitted. Now trom twelve to thirteen hundred students apply each year.
