NEED MORE SEATING
CAPACITY AT EMORY
CROWDED CONDITIONS MAY NE¬
CESSITATE ERECTION OF DOR¬
MITORIES AND CHAPEL.
Emory College, Oxford, Ga., Sept.
26. Professor M. T. Peed, secretary of
the faculty, estimates that Emory’s
enrollment for 1910 will equal if not
surpass that of last year, which was
313. Indeed, the seating capacity of
the chapel and the class rooms is be¬
ing seriously taxed and many of the
classes' will of necessity be divided so
that the instructors may better handle
them.
If the present growth of the college
continues, Emory’s long-talked-of
dormitories and new chapel will be¬
come a reality. Professor H. H.
Stone, custodian of grounds and
buildings, has drawn plans for the new
chapel, and it is generally understood
that plans for the two immense dor¬
mitories to be placed 021 the campus
have been in his possession for some
time.
The main part of the church was
filled with students when Dr. Dickey
preached to them Sunday on “So
Teach Us to Number Our Days That
We May Apply Our Hearts Unto Wis¬
dom.” Dr. Dickey’s talk was full of
good advice for the boys, both old and
new. Among other things he exhort¬
ed them to decide on their course in
college and not to change it because
they found it difficult.

to the bushel.
The corn contest was the idea of
Joel W. Hightower. Mr. Hightower
made the canvass for subscriptions,
pushing the movement through. The
Times-Recorder induced many to en¬
ter, and to him belongs the credit of
bringing to a successful conclusion
the first agricultural contest Sumter
county has seem in many years, and
the first ever held as regards corn.
