It will be interesting to note a few facts about the enrollment of this year as compared to that of last year. Up to Wednesday, the 30th, 858 students had registered, while on the same date last year 843 had enrolled. New men are still coming in, however, and the enrollment should easily reach 900 before the end of the term. The Freshman class shows a small increase over that of last year; there are now 390 new men on the roll, while last year there were 370. The most interesting feature is the increase in the number of agricultural students. This department has been gaining in popularity for the last five years, and now there are 480 men taking the agricultural course and 378 studying engineering. The elec trical engineers are easily in the ma jority in the engineering department, while the mechanical engineers are about the same in number. FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINAL BALL 1914. Resources.
