Prof. Bohannon Basing Plans
for Next Summer School On
Enrollment of Five Hundred
Prof. William E. Bohannon, director
of the Howard Summer School, has
been so pleased with the great in¬
crease in enrollment this year that he
announces that next summer the num¬
ber will reach 500 and that he will
secure a faculty and make all arrange¬
ments for the larger number. The
faculty, the curriculum and the adver¬
tising will all be directed toward en¬
rolling and accommodating the 500 or
over.
Prof. Bohannon points out that when
the day students are subtracted from
the total, the dormitories can take care
of the remainder without crowding. At
present the dormitories are not entire¬
ly filled, and as the fraternity houses
have been rented to the fraternities
only a small percentage of their room
is taken. And an unlimited number
can secure rooms near the college at
reasonable rates in the East Lake resi¬
dential section.
PROF. CECIL TO SUCCEED . DR.
LUCK IN SCIENCE.
The administration announces that
Prof.
В.
V. Cecil, of Maryland, has
been employed to succeed Dr. Luck
as head of the department of Phyeics
and Chemistry. Prof. Cecil is a grad¬
uate of St John’s College at Annap¬
olis and later received the degree of
Doctor of Science (D. Sc.) from the
University of Maryland. In addition
to this he has done graduate work in
Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Daw
son states that Prof. Cecil comes high¬
ly recommended and with a long and
successful experience as a teacher.
The strong faculty of the present
session will be enlarged and strength¬
ened. Other courses will be offered
both for teachers and those seeking
college credit. The practice class
which' is iow under Miss Tillman of
the Birmingham city school and which
gives those taking the course actual
practice in teaching real boys and
girls, will be further enlarged.. One
new course planned Is an hour lec¬
ture dally for which credit will be
given. Prof. Bohannon plans to have
well-known educators from all parts
of the south deliver a series of lec¬
tures on successive days, and this
should prove to be a feature of un¬
usual interest.
Surely Director Bohannon, who has
within four years increased the en¬
rollment from 149 to 314, can fulfill
his plans for 500 students next sum¬
mer.

dricks, who has been granted leave of
absence for one year In order that
he may complete his studies for the
Ph. D. degree. Many of the students
of Howard personally know Mr. Trant
since he was a student here for four
years, graduating in 1920. He was on
the campus this week, immediately
following his return from Princeton,
where he received his A. M. only re¬
cently.
Mr. Trant was born in Holmes Coun¬
ty, Florida, and later came to Ala¬
bama, where he attended a business
college and also the

an, from 1912 to 1914 and was in
charge of the Commercial Department

Howard College 1919 to 1920. Mr.
Trant served' in the army for sixteen
months during the recent war and
rose from a private to a lieutenant.
Mr. Trdnt is a fine example of what
a poor boy can accomplish of his own
efforts if he has grit and persever¬
ance. He has thus far received his
education wholly by his own efforts,
ana is planning to push on eventually
to the degree of Ph. D.
