ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR.
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.
