With the afternoon classes at the Georgetown University School of Law already in session and the College of Arts and Sciences scheduled to reopen Wednesday for its 141st academic year, th. entire university will be in full swing by October 1. For the second consecutive year, drastic steps have been taken to reduce the size of the freshman class at the col- lege. Registration of incoming first classmen tomorrow, consequently, will be limited to nfllpmxlmately 300 to pre- vent overcrowding in the living quarters on the campus. Upper classmen, will be registered Tuesday and classes start the following day. President W. Coleman Nevils ordered many improvements at the Hilltop dur- ing the Summer and the finishing touches are being applied to & new din- ing hall for the senfor class. Upper classmen also will find upon their return a number of new professors appointed + during the Summer. Chief among these l.are Rev. Joseph T. O'Brien, the new faculty director of athletics, and Maj. William H. Hobson, designated by the War Department as successor to Lieut. Col. Augustus F. Dannemiller, in charge of the military department. Hobson Started R. 0. T. C. Unit. Maj. Hobson was the first Army officer to inaugurate the R. O. T. C. course at Georgetown back in 1919 and it was during his four years at the Hilltop that the Georgetown unit was placed on the | distinguished list and the rifle team won its first intercollegiate championship. He has already taken charge and is pre- paring for the reopening of military activities. Announcement was made yesterday by President Nevils of the appointment of John G. Bowen of S8an Antonio, Tex., to take charge of alumni activities. He lll.so will succeed Frances D. Cronin as executive secretary, to the president of the university, Mr. Cronin having been ! placed in the position of supervising all the stores of the university. One of Mr. Cronin’s duties this Sum- mer has been the purchase of all the textbooks used in the various depart- ments of the university and reorgan- izing the various school stores. Mr. Bowen is well known in George- town circles. A graduate of the law school in 1931, he served as registrar at the college during his student days ana also as secretary to Rev. John B. Creeden, when the latter was president. Father Nevils was dean of the college during most of that period and pre- vailed upon Mr. Bowen to return to Georgetown this Fall to take general charge of alumni activities. Since his graduation, Mr. Bowen has been in the automobile business in San Antonio. Dean R. Rush Rankin is/looking for- ward to increased scholastic activities during the year. With the return of the foot ball squad from its Jersey train- ing quarters this afternoon, there will be no cessation of student activities un- til the academic year closes. Next week will witness the formal exercises in hon- or of the reopening of the college, at which academic prizes will be awarded the honor students of the preceeding year. Law Classes Start September 23. At the Law School, the morning class- es will resume Beptember 23. Next in or- der of opening will be the medical and dental departments on September 26 and the Foreign Service School on Octo- 1. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, regent of ‘the latter school, has returned from & Summer in Europe to take charge of preparations for launching the Fore! Service Review probably during present year. Law School exercises will be held September 25 in furtherance of the pro- nd | gram of Constitution week, sponsored by the American Bar Association through- out the country. There will be addresses on the Constitution by Dean George E. Hamilton, Rev. Thomas B. Chetwood, regent of the school, and ‘another speaker who will be especially invited. The Law School, despite its require- ment of two years of college work, will have a particularly good registration this year. The same also applies to the 8chool of Foreign Service, which is be- ing put on a semi-graduate basis. It is | understood a number of changes in the courses at the latter school are,to be Course Is Designed to Give Tech-! announced. nical Subjects Without Non-Related Work. A new course in architecture is be- ing added this year to the curriculum of the engineering department of the Columbia School of Drafting and En- gineering. This course is designed to give the student an opportunity to obtain the technical- subjects of an engineering course without being required to take additional non-related subjects which are included in the usual college course. The new architecture course will re- Quire s prerequisite of some drafting and mathematics, however, If an ap- licant needs work in these two sub- ts, it will be possible for him to ar- yange to condition in them with the eo urse.
