Drive Succeeds.
An intensive drive for living ac
commodations for the record
breaking enrollment is almost a
complete success, it was announced
by W. C. Harper, assistant dean
of student affairs.
"No single students enrolled in
the university were turned away
for lack of a place to live. This
means that Lincoln residents
opened their homes to over 4,500
students not resident in Lancaster
county or living in university or
campus dormitories. It is a great
tribute to the city of Lincoln," Mr
Harper said.
