Mr. Carter E. Grant Principal of the Seminary majorat the University in Western Hisand has been giving Seminary tU(leiltS a rather overflowing course Utah and Church History. Because these courses are given :tree of charge to all comers, every student who could avail himself of the opportunity has registered this past year. Four hundred have received daily week-day religious training during 1928-1929. Because the enrollment has increased so rapidly, it has become neces,. sary to add another instructor for the coming year. Lynn Bennion, principal of the Richmond Seminary will be associated with Mr. Grant and Heber D. Clark the coming season. This splendid addition should adequately care for the needs of the students.
