COLLEGE REGISTRATION, 1911-12

The college shows a healthy growth over the registration for last year, all the classes except the junior showing an increase, but a slight decrease in the registration of the Medical School and Thayer School. Figures for the entire College follows:

Graduate Students 17 Seniors 226 Juniors 229 Sophomores 349 Freshmen 426 1247 Medical School 36 Thayer School 37 Tuck School 54 Total, deducting for names repeated 1306

The total is 97 in excess of last year, showing a gain of over eight per cent. Of the freshman class 71½ per cent enter without condition, a percentage slightly in excess of the average for other years. Other colleges and universities contribute 39 men to the upper classes, four more than last year.

STATISTICS OF REGISTRATION FROM 1905-12 (UNDERGRADUATES) Students per Entering Class Total Faculty Faculty Member 1905-6 303 898 59 15.1 1906-7 355 1029 63 1907-8 357 1102 67 1908-9 334 1107 71 15.1 1909-10 309 1087 72 1910-11 398 1144 72 1911-12 426 1230 84 14.1

It is interesting.to note that although the registration of students has shown a large increase in the last seven years the number of students per faculty member shows an actual decrease. When, too, the closeness of contact gained by the advisory system is taken into consideration the actual gain in faculty influence will be seen to be much greater.
