FRESHMAN WEEK

The University has had for two or thr year th< .rly registration of freshmen and the ex ; 1 hes first da 1 are called Freshman Week. At this time the new students gather at the U er ,some preliminary meetings and for registration. Tore could be made of these beginning days and could be r:fectivdy utilized for a closer personal contact with a larger numtx of peopk than is now done. The Dean of each college has his own particular group of freshmen for an hour before re ration begins. There is a meeting to which all men of the fr man d are called and at which the Dean of Men speaks. The number attending is too large, however, for the best effect The new man is openminded; he is homesick often ; he know very few people, and he often has no friends on the camp- . or no one whom he recognizes as a friend. The present exercises now are rather mechanical and the}- could be very much improved. A social hour or two where they could meet the of:' cers of the University personally, would be effective.
