Alumni oppose new Normal school until Dillon college enrolment hits four hundred

They cite dormitory shortages, waiting lists, and funding needs for rural and kindergarten training. They challenge claims that the college is limited or local, noting 287 current students with 145 graduates, growth to 505 with summer sessions, and representation from nearly all counties and thirteen outside states.
