Walla Walla College

By E. C. Kellogg

The college opened September 13, and the first two days were given entirely to the work of registration. More care than heretofore was exercised in checking up students and getting their work arranged more fully in harmony with the published courses. The classes met for regular work on Friday. The enrolment at the end of the first week was two hundred and three, which is twenty-four more than a year ago.

Friday evening the regular devotional meeting was held. The chapel was nearly full. The Scripture lesson was upon the thought, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” All were much interested in the exercises of the hour, and the service was a helpful one.

The church being too small to accommodate all in the Sabbath school, a college Sabbath school was organized, with a membership of approximately one hundred.

On Saturday evening the usual opening reception was given. The faculty members stood in the receiving line, and after all had been greeted a short program was rendered. An address of welcome was given by the president of the school, to which response was made by one of the senior students. This was followed

by words of greeting from a representative of each conference. During the several speeches the students from the respective conferences stood, so that all could see the representation. This was a new feature in the reception, and proved to be of marked interest.

The weather for the opening was ideal, conditions in general were favorable, and the outlook for an exceptionally successful year seems very encouraging.

E. C. KELLOGG, President.
