Important Action Regarding Admission of High School Graduates.
Minneapolis, Sept. 8.—The faculty of the state university held its first meeting for the college year Wednesday afternoon in the office of President Northrop, in the new library building, with a large number of professors and instructors present. It was announced that the enrollment of freshmen had reached the number of 150 names, and would probably reach 250 by this evening. It was voted that students coming to the institution from second class high schools, if they held eighteen of the twenty-four required certificates necessary to admission without examination, should be admitted and the high school principal's mark be taken for the other six certificates, providing not all are in the same line of study. This is an important step, for the high schools of the state. The work left by the resignation of Prof. J. E. Wadsworth in the engineering college will be divided between Prof. W. R. Hoag, Prof. Henry Eddy and C. H. Kendall, who has recently been appointed a scholar in the department of structural engineering. The work of the English department will be done by Prof. McClampha, the newly appointed assistant in the department. Classes will be called at 11:10 Tuesday morning.
