DARTMOUTH OPENS 153d YEAR WITH ENROLLMENT OF 2014

Having refused over 1600 applications for admission to the class of 1925 Dartmouth opened its 153d college year, September 22, with an enrollment of 2014 students, the largest in it's history. Approximately 610 freshmen were admitted this year, about fifteen less than the year previous; but the fact that the College is still graduating "war classes" makes any larger number impossible.

New England continues to lead all other sections of the country and Massachusetts all other states in the number of entering men. A considerable increase of men from the far west, middle west, and south was noticeable, nevertheless, and President Hopkins' statement that Dartmouth is the most nationally representative of the colleges of the country will be amply borne out by the statistics in preparation by Dean of Freshmen, E. Gordon Bill, for the next issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Thirty-four members of the present freshman class are sons of Dartmouth graduates. There are also four sons of Dartmouth fathers entered by transfer from other institutions in the class of 1924.
