LARGE ENROLLMENT
STATE UNIVERSITY
Errett R. Newby, Secretary and
Registrar of the University, sent
a circular letter from his office in
July in which he stated that tne
enrollment at Oklahoma for the
year of 1912 13 would reach the
twelve hundred mark. Mr. New
by directs the correspondence of
the University offices and he de
dares that there never have been
oetter prospects for an increased
enrollment in our state schools
than now.
Every train entering the State
University town for the past week
has brought students old and new
and the most gratifying part of it
is the fact that many of the new
students are those who have been
attending schools in other states
and want to come tc Oklahoma
Uaiversity to take their degrees
Another noticeable thing is the
fact that towns never before rep
resented in the University are
sending students to Norman and
other places are doubling their
representation in the State Univer
sity. More and more are the stu
dents of our state realizing the
fact that when engaging them
selves in business whether in Ok
lahoma or elsewhere in the great
Southwest, the fact that they are
a product of our own State Uni
versity will give them a prestige
hard to obtain in any other way.
FINE SHORI HORNS
Geo. Grimes a Flynn township
farmer southwest of Okeene at

near Lahoma and brought back
