ENROLLMENT OF STUDENTS
November, 1912

According, to the latest figures from the Registrar's office, the student enrollment of the College is 1295 men, divided as follows:

Seniors 227 Juniors 260 Sophomores 343 Freshmen 404 1234 Graduate Students 10 Medical School 27 Thayer School 35 Tuck School 51 123 Total 1357 Deducting names appearing twice 62 Total 1295

The figures published in THE MAGAZINE one year ago were as follows:

Seniors 226 Juniors 229 Sophomores 349 Freshmen 426 1247 (graduate Students 17 Medical School 36 Thayer School 37 Tuck School 54 Total after deducting names appearing twice 1306

The slight variation in enrollment is not such as to call for any explanation. For some time to come the College may quite naturally swing up or down with a student body of - from 1250 to 1300 men. Probabilities favor a gradual increase in the Medical School, the Thayer School, and Tuck School. There is no desire on the part of any one to carry a large postgraduate list in the liberal arts and sciences, and in so doing to trench upon university territory. As for the entering class, there are very nearly as many new men as in former years, the number of "dropbacks" being considerably reduced by the vigorous upholding of standards which seems to be a. part of the present policy of the institution.
