Judging by the figures now available - it seemis that the enrollment at the Un e iversity this year is going far over that I of previous years. Last year the total number of stidents at the end of the _ sessiOn was 746. At inid-day Tuesday e the number of students registered wasi s around 755. Probably thirty or forty v will register in the next few (lays and about one hundred more next term. The total will dorbtless reach 900 by the eid of the year. 'eli enrollment by schools is not known exactly but there scems to be a large increase in all departments. In the Law School this year is the first year that there has been three fulll classes; however, there is a decrease in the num - ber of students in the first and second y year classes. here are 50 seniors en rolled and about 40 in each of the other two classes. In the F'ngineering School the enroll ment is in the neighborhood of 60. Last year the total was 48. No figures are yet available on the number of students in the School of lIducation but Dr. Wardlaw thinks that it is eryi much larger than last session. The enrollment in the Graduate School is cha-aging every (lay. at present it is a little over 60. li the School of Commerce the num her of students registere(d is approx lmnately 120.
