...difficult to estimate the size of the incoming Freshman Class--the Class of 1923. June examination figures do not tell the entire story, for 200 or 300 men will take their examinations in September. Also, it is impossible to figure the total from the number of applications for rooms in the Freshman dormitories, as many Freshmen live at home. The office of the Dean in charge of the Freshman Class reports that there are still a few vacancies in the Freshman Halls, but these will undoubtedly be filled by applications coming in during the next week or two.

For a long time it has, however, been increasingly difficult and indeed often impossible for men who wished to pursue liberal studies to prepare themselves to meet Princeton's entrance requirements in Greek. To such students a course in beginning Greek will be offered, though it is not required. Certain subjects are to be demanded of all students in the first...
