A September 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK R-- N. U. Frosh Ready for Psychological Tests Next Monday Monday morning will mark the be- ginning of the fall term activities on the Evanston campus of Northwestern university when all freshmen entering the college of liberal arts, school of speech and the school of engineering will. take their psychological tests in Fisk hall. An English test will be given in the afternoon. Following tests in mathematics and foreign languages Tuesday, and an all- freshmen meeting Wednesday morn- ing, the first year students will enroll for the fall term on Thursday. Upper- classmen will register the following day. Regular class work will start Monday morning, September 24. More rigid entrance requirements for first year women will be in effect this year. Only those from the upper quarter of their high school classes will be eligible for admission, instead of from the upper half as heretofore. These more stringent requirements not only will tend to equalize the num- ber of men and women on the Evans- ton campus, but they will enable the university eventually to carry out its policy of requiring all women students to live either in university dormitories or their own homes, according to President Walter Dill Scott. It is es- timated that taking only women ircm the upper quarter of their high school classes will tend to make the ratio of pro year women to men about 333 to 450. "The fact that many men students enter the professional schools after their second year probably is basically responsible for the increase of women students over men in the upper classes in the college of liberal arts," said President Scott. "More rigid entrance requirements for women will tend to equalize this. "We will not be able this year to conform strictly to our policy of re- quiring all women students to live either in university dormitories or their own homes, but there will be fewer living in boarding houses. We hope to eliminate the boarding houses as soon as possible and have all wom- en, except those living at home, in university dormitories." Indications are that the increase in tuition at Northwestern university, effective this year, will not have any appreciable effect on the registration. More applications for admission to the college of liberal arts have been received than last vear or the year before. Applications received by the law school point to the largest enroll- ment the school ever has had. The maximum number that can be accom- modated by the law school is 400, and it is believed the rggistration this year, for the first time, may reach that mark. The medical school, out of 1,500 appli- cations, has accepted 126 first year men, the maximum number that can be taken. Although its freshman class is not yet filled, the dental school is expecting a slight increase over last year. The total enrollment last year, ex- clusive of the summer session, was in excess of 10,000. Of this number, ap- proximately 4,700 were registered on the Evanston campus, of whom 2,400 were women. Miss Jane Adair, 320 Melrose ave- nue, Kenilworth left recently to motor to Wellesley college where she is en- tered as a freshman. ---- Miss Maragaret Korrady of 307 Ab- bottsford road, Kenilworth will return to Stoneleigh school, Rye Beach, N. H., October 2. a Mrs. Sidney Stevens. .of . Evanston will entertain the Reading circle Mon- day afternoon. Mrs. Ernest E. Anderson Summoned by Death Sunday Mrs. Ernest E. Anderson, of 2614 Eastwood avenue, Evanston, national- ly known mathematician and former teacher at New Trier Township High school, died Sunday afternoon at her home after a brief illness. Mrs. Anderson has been associated with the Friends academy in New Bed- ford, Mass. She was one of the leaders in the Humane society at Evanston, and was a member of the Woman's Club of Evanston, the Drama club and the Woman's Roosevelt Republican club. She is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. Surviving her are her husband and one sister, Mrs. Carlos S. Andrews, of 111 Lake street, Evanston.

Linus Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Smith, 123 Kerilworth avenue, Kenilworth left last Monday night for Carleton college, Northfield, Minn. 51 AT HOME AFTER VACATION Mr. and Mrs. John O'Connor of 149 Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth have returned from an extended vacation at Spring Lake, N. J. Their son, John O'Connor, Jr., is also home from Baril Lake, Canada where he passed the summer in camp. He will leave shortly for New Milford, Conn., where he is enrolled at the Cant erbury school. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Crandall and family, 515 Warwick road, Kenilworth have returned from their summer home at Three Lakes, Wis. | One Policy The Bell System and the Public HE Bell System recognizes the public require- ment for a constantly extended and improved tele- phone service. To provide this service it has enlisted the savings of hundreds of thousands of investors. In addition to its obligation to the public it has an obliga- tion to its stockholders. The only sound policy which will meet these obli- gations is to continue to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. Earnings must be sufficient to assure the financial in- tegrity of the business. Anything in excess goes toward extending the service or keeping down the rates. The ideal of the Bell System, of which the Illinois Bell Telephone Company is a part, is the most telephone service and the best, at the least cost to the user. It accepts this responsibility as a public trust. ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY BELL SYSTEM . One System - Universal Service
