The Opening of College*

The one hundred and fifty-second year of Dartmouth College opened Thursday, September 22, with chapel exercises in Webster Hall. According to usual custom, following the brief devotional service the President delivered a brief address, a complete report of which appears elsewhere in this issue.

Since the opening day the freshman registration, which at that time was already the largest in the history of Dartmouth, has shown a considerable increase. Figures for the entire College are as follows:

Seniors 222 Juniors 236 Sophomores 284 Freshmen 400 1142 Medical School 41 Thayer School 43 Tuck School 33 117 Total, deducting for names appearing twice 1209

Of the freshman class, 385 are new men; 35 men enter the upper classes from other colleges; 14 men re-enter Dartmouth after an absence of one or more semesters.
