Prof. Given of the Aviation department had a narrow escape last
Saturday afternoon when the new
vacu-plane, which he was testing,
dipped into a rut in the Pan American airways field and flipped over.
The plane was badly damaged, but
Given escaped with only one rip in
his pants.
The accident was not due to
any structural failure in the plane.
It had been flown successfully, and
Given had set it down on the field,

Mr. Provin, Registrar, stated
that perhaps another hundred
full-time students may be expected
to register in the next few weeks,
-judging from the number that
have been signing up since the
figures below were compiled. In
short, the University of Miami may-
expect to have in her scholastic
fold this year from one thousand
to eleven hundred students, and
should be justly proud of the fact.
