College authorities have noticed that loans are sought in practically the same proportion by men and women. The maximum loan which a stu- dent may make at one time is $100, and in general payment xpected to be made within a vear after graduation, with interest at, five per cent. In cases where such ac- tion is deemed advisable, however, the interest is waived. and the question of the eligibility of Naval Academy graduates for Army ons has been formally decided York.
