Duke Freshmen to Report
Sept 14 For Orientation
Upperclassmen Return September 21 To Begin
New Scholastic Year Which Promises To Be In
teresting and Active. Many Changes Made On
Campus.
By A. A. WILKINSON.
Durham Freshmen entering Duke university for the fall sem
ester will report for a week of orientation on Thursday, September
14, and the formal opening exercises will be held on Wednesday,
-September 20. Graduate students will register on September 21-23.
With these formalities over,
.Duke university will enter into
what promises to be an interest
ing and active year of work.
Returning students and facul
ty will immediately note several
interesting campus changes. The
new graduate dormitory, which
has a capacity of 570 students,
named Few quadrangle in honor
of President W. P. Few last June
by the university trustees, will be
opened. It is a handsome new
structure situated opposite the
Union.
New Landmark
The huge steel framework for
the 10,500-person capacity indoor
gymnasium will also present a
new landmark to the returning
students. The structure is expect
ed to be put into use early in
January. Meanwhile work is
progressing on the new 198-room,
five-floor addition to Duke hos
pital which will be used for the
first time early next summer.
Six new all-wea'ther tennis
courts are being constructed, sit
uated close to the clay courts.
Another summer construction
development has been the con
version of a large part of the uni
versity Union into a spacious din
ing hall for graduate students.
It’s situated directly over the cof
fee shop.
More than 20 new members of
the teaching staff will report at
the beginning of the new year,
taking over expanded work, sup
plying for teachers on leave of
absence, those resigned or deceas
ed. There will be two new deans,
Dean William H. Hall, of the col
lege of engineering, and Dean
Margaret I. Pinkerton, of the
school of nursing.
New College
The college of engineering will
begin its first year of activity
since its status was changed by
the board of trustees from the di
vision of engineering to one of
three colleges in the university
organization.
Just what the university’s fall
enrollment will be cannot be de
termined at this time. It will
likely approximate 3,400.
The new academic year will be
the 30th for Dr. Few as president
of Trinity and Duke. He was el
ected president in June, 1910, and
was inaugurated in November,
1910.
With the opening of the new
graduate dormitory making sev
eral changes in the allotment of
dormitories, there wil be a re
arrangement of fraternity sec
tions, or “houses.” as they are
known, during the new year.
Two new fraternities will begin
activity this fall, Beta Theta Pi
and Chi Phi having installed
chapters at Duke.
There will be one new soror
ity at the woman’s college, Delta
Gamma.
Many Interests
While study will be the all-im
portant activity for all the uni
versity, as usual the multiplicity
of outside interests—football, mu

riium will be as follows: Colgate,

Wake Forest, October 28, and
Carolina, November 18,
A five-feature concert sche
dule will be carried out during
the academic year, to the interest
of music lovers on the campus
and off. The program will include
Yehudi Menhuin, violinst; Law
rence Tibbett, baritone; the Phil
adelphia symphony orchestra, the
Cossack male chorus, and Myra
Hess, pianist.
During the year there will be
a number of professional and
academic conferences to held on
the campus.
Some of the country’s best
known clergymen from time to
time will be guest preachers at
the university chapel.

Gentlemen, you need a blotter

soaks up perspiration with its soft,
