Howell, registrar, announced that the total enrollment for the year had reached the new high figure of 4319. This number will be somewhat increased by late registrations, and is expected to reach approximately 4400. On the same date last year students; that was a larger total the total registration showed 3599 enrollment than ever before. This accounts for an increase of 720 boys for the 36-37 year over the 3599 of 35-36. A large percentage of this increase was credited to returning students who had had one or more terms in the college, although there was an increase in the size of the freshman class. Before the beginning of the sec- ond semester and including the end of the first semester, approximately 400 students were dropped from the rolls of the college. Deficient grades at December 1, and at the end of the term accounted for many of these, financial trouble caused the majority of the remainder of withdrawals. On Tuesday, there had been en- rolled 81 new students but their registration is incomplete and is expected to reach a total of 100 within the next few days. The number of old students who en- rolled for the second semester, but were not in school in the first term has not been compiled, how- ever, it is expected to run around the same amount. The total number of students in the college for the second term will, therefore run between 3500 and 3600, somewhat of a decrease from last term, but definitely more than for any second semester in the history of the school. Complete registration figures, and the arrangement of assignment and class cards have been accom- plished by the office of the regis- trar in record time for this regis- tration period. This was made pos- sible by the use of the new assort- ing machine, and a more efficient force of help. and George H.
