S. Peren, that enrolments for diploma courses this year would easily constitute a record, and the result was that the accommodation at the college hostel ■would be more than ever inadequate to cater for full-time students. It would be necessary this year for degree Btudents to find lodgings in the city. The board decided to renew its efforts, through the council of the School of Agriculture, to obtain a grant for the provision of additional accommodation.
