It is true that the1·e are several other buildings larger and more elaborate but when yo u co nsider that the registration in commerce at Geor.,.ia is approximately only 450, Georgia is to be particularly congratulated. No S c ho~l of Commerce of compa rable size has a better building or more complete equipment than has Georgia. Delta Sigma Pi wishes to congratulate the administrative officials of the Uni versity of Georgia and of its School of Commerce for t his very fine achievement. '!.'h e f acilities now offered to prospective students are of the very best and should lead to a substantial increase in registration in the School of Commerce and as a logical result, of g1·eater service to the citizens of their state.
