Raleigh, Sept. 21—North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering opened its doors for the fall term Tuesday, September 15. The enrollment shows an increase of 16 per cent, the freshman class numbering over 600.
Johnston County is well represented. Never before has there been a time when Johnston County bestowed such a great trust upon this institution. Smithfield is well represented having five representatives. They are as follows: Messrs. Richard Moore, Nick Avera, Willard Lawrence, Lawrence Stncil and William Booker. Selma is represented by Geo. Borden; Clayton by Leonard Johnston and Wilson’s Mills by Edwin Turnage and Wilson Uzzle.
This increase is only an example of the progress State College is making throughout the State.
A process of remodelization has taken place during the summer months. All old dormitories have been completely remodeled and are modern in every detail. Grass and shrubbery has been planted and side walks are being constructed over the campus. A modern cafeteria will be opened October 1, which will feed 450 men each meal. From all indications this is State’s greatest year.
