MISCELLANY

Official enrollment figures for the fall term give a total of 2986 undergraduates in residence and 61 others registered but away from Hanover on various study programs. This undergraduate total is thirteen less than for last fall. Also enrolled are- 320 full-time and 84 part-time graduate students, for a total of 404 compared with 342 last year. Thayer School enrollment of 38 is nearly double that of last year. Tuck School has 182, an increase of three; and the Medical School has 149, an increase of seven. All in all, 3455 students are in the directory.

The beginning of an epidemic of streptococcus infection and illness among Dartmouth undergraduates was nipped by mass inoculation of the student body last month. Some 2600 men received long-acting penicillin shots, administered by the College Health Service in consultation with the U.S. Public Health Service. The two-day inoculation program, November 11 and 12, had an especially urgent character about it, so far as the students were concerned - without it, Fall Houseparties would have been called off. Strong measures were decided upon by the College when 83 acute strep cases developed, compared with 14 cases for the same period in the previous two years.
