EMORY UNIVERSITY TO HAVE
LARGE FALL ENROLLMENT
Atlanta, Ga.—War is having no ef
fect on the enrollment of students at
Emery University, which already has
a record-breaking number of applica
tions for matriculation at the opening
of thes chool year next September.
Conditions in the law, medical, aca
demic, and the hteological depart
ments are especially gratifying to
thee hancellor. Bishop Warren A-
-Candler.
The importance of especial atten
tion to education during the war ts
generally conceded by the leading
men of tho country, and southern ed
ucators are laying particular stress
on the subject St this time. England
made the mistake of allowing her col
leges to be stripped of men from all
classes by the vicious and wasteful
Volunteer system, but the policy of
the United States will be to urge the
young men to go to college and to
i-omplete their course of study, sol
that there will be no dearth of train-1
cJ and educated men when the war is I
over.
