COLLEGE AFFAIRS

The President reported on various matters at the College, mentioning that the complaints of
several maintenance employees, referred to recently in the newspapers, had been dropped. He said
that the large number of applications for admittance continues, and that the quality of the
applicants is exceptionally high. Referring with great optimism to the brilliant future of the
College, President Darden described briefly some of the steps being taken to reduce the number of
girls withdrawing after the second year to enter the large coeducational universities that
require two years of college preparation.
