148 THE INDIANA STUDENT, and we are informed it will be made a per manent affair. Luther Short, ’€ 6 editor of the Franklin Democrat and candidate for the legislature on the Democratic ticket expects to attend Commencement exercises. Senator George C. Wright has written that he intends to be present during Com mencement week. Senator Wright en livened us with his wit and humor last Commencement and left with us all the impression that he is a “grand old man.” Hon. Homer J. Bothwell, ’69, who was elected last June as Alumni Orator has ac cepted the invitation. Mr. Bothwell made a reputation while in college as an orator of considerable ability. He is a member of the legislature of Missouri and was one of the committee which revised the con stitution of the State. The University Magazine has sent out printed postal cards to the Senior classes of fifty colleges in order to secure the views of the members on the subjects of protection, free trade and tariff revision, also the tendency of their instructors in political economy. The members of the Senior class were supplied with blank pos tal cards by Prof. Jenks. A summary attendance for the year shows an enrollment as follows: Resident graduates 12, Seniors 47, Juniors 73, So phomores 70, Freshmen 92, special stu dents 27, saw students 17, making a total of 338. It was thought, by some at least, that the enrollment of the Freshmen class was much smaller than usual. This de preciation in numbers however is only a seeming one caused by classifying a greater number of those who are not entirely up with their preparatory work as special students. The enrollment for the year is greater than ever before, showing a credit able increase over that of last year. Of these 338 students 302 are furnished by Indiana, Illinois 11, Iowa 5. The remain ing 20 came from different states. Of the 69 counties of Indiana represented Mon roe has the greatest number, 79, Wayne next with an attendance of 13, Madison has 11, Marion 10, and Washington, Greene and Lawrence each have 8. There are about forty-seven members who will graduate this year and to hear from each one of them a speech, however short, would become monotonous and wearisome to most of the people who would listen to them. The faculty has therefore chosen only certain members to speak. The persons chosen are: Messrs. Weisley, Harding, Morris, Miller and Drew, and Misses Test, Bitner and Pit man.
