COLLEGE ENROLLMENT STILL EXCEEDS DESIRED LIMITS

In spite of plans made by the college administration to keep the undergraduate enrollment down to approximately 2000 the opening of college finds a total of 2192 members of the four classes, as against 2105 a year ago at this time. The small number of scholastic casualties in the two lower classes last year and a sharp decline in the usual rate of shrinkage in all the classes are the factors which account for the figure, which is higher than is desired.

The Registrar's Office lists the enrollment as follows: 436 seniors, 525 juniors, 603 sophomores and 628 freshmen. In addition to these undergraduates there are 9 graduate students, 37 students attending the Medical School, 17 taking the Thayer School courses, and 91 in the Tuck School. This brings the total for the college to 2259. The total enrollment one year ago was 2247.

The exercises opening the college year were held in Webster Hall Thursday, September 22. President Hopkins chose as the subject of his opening address "Today's Responsibility of the American Co'lege." The address is reprinted in this issue, together with excerpts from the widespread editorial comment which appeared following its publication.
