It will be almost impossible to secure one hundred boarders before that time, whereas, if they had assigned a later date, permitting men to return after the spring vacation, all might go well yet. There are many students who intend to return to Memorial after the recess, but they cannot leave their present boarding-house at such short notice as is made necessary by the board of directors. There is another class of men who would return...
