SCIENCE 



131 



students, has an increase of 80. Other de- 

 partments show slight gains or losses which 

 are negligible. 



At the University of Pittsburgh, the 157 

 students listed under other courses are male 

 candidates for degrees in economics. Of 

 the 411 students given under extension and 

 similar courses, 127 are taking teachers' 

 courses without credit and 284 are enrolled 

 in the evening school. 



The students at Leland Stanford Univer- 

 sity listed under law and medicine and the 

 graduate school are all included also under 

 the college. 



At Syracuse University, of the 233 stu- 

 dents listed under separate courses, 50 are 

 taking work in library economy; 275 stu- 

 dents from the college of liberal arts are 

 also taking work in education. 



At Tulane University, 7 are enrolled in 

 tropical medicine and hygiene and 22 are 

 taking post-graduate medical work. The 

 students mentioned under scientific schools 

 are enrolled for engineering and sugar 

 chemistry. The increase in numbers of the 

 college of technology is due to changes 

 made in the college, amounting practically 

 to reorganization. 



The 48 students listed under other courses 

 at Washington University are in the school 

 of social economy. The 319 students listed 

 under extension and similar courses are 

 taking Saturday courses for teachers and 

 others in the college. 



The 45 students listed under other courses 

 at Western Reserve University are taking 

 work in library economy. In Adelbert 

 College, the college for women, the gradu- 

 ate school, the school of law and the library 

 school, the annual tuition fee has been ad- 

 vanced from $100 to $125, and in the school 

 of medicine from $125 to $150, these 

 charges going into effect this year. The 

 loss in enrollment in the school of law is 



due to the graduation of the last class re- 

 ceived upon the non-graduate basis, all 

 classes now being upon the college gradu- 

 ate basis. The change from the non-grad- 

 uate to the graduate basis is seen to have 

 taken effect with but a small loss in num- 

 bers. The loss in enrollment in the school of 

 medicine is more apparent than real, the dif- 

 ference being caused largely by the recent 

 yearly graduation of two classes, — Ohio 

 Wesleyan University and Western Reserve 

 University, — and the reception of one class 

 on the Western Reserve University college 

 graduate basis only. 



Of the 45 students listed under other 

 courses at the University of Wisconsin, 43 

 are enrolled in library economy and 2 are 

 taking work in public health. The 40 stu- 

 dents in pharmacy include 24 students in a 

 two-year pharmacy course, for which four 

 years of high school preparation is not re- 

 quired. A forest rangers' course consisting 

 of 12 students began work at the university 

 January 7, 1913. These students did not 

 complete their field work until November 30. 



The most considerable increase in enroll- 

 ment at Yale University is in the college. 

 The entering classes in the law and medical 

 schools also show noticeable increases and 

 indicate that the requirement of a college 

 degree for admission to the law school and 

 of two years of college work for admission 

 to the medical school, adopted two years 

 ago, is being appreciated by the best grade 

 of students. The only noticeable falling off 

 is in the graduate school. This is due ex- 

 clusively to the new requirement of two 

 years' work for the master of arts degree 

 instead of one year, as in force at Yale 

 prior to 1912 and still the custom at almost 

 all the American universities.
