It makes lawsuits a luxury available only to the few who can afford them or who have property interests to protect which are sufficiently large to repay the cost. . . .

The increase in enrollment has presented certain problems, such as the adequate housing of undergraduates and an increased burden on the tutorial and teaching staff. It is hoped that the enrollment may be kept down to the number at which it was more or less stabilized several years ago,--namely, about...
