mer-session attendance. The largest summer- 

 session in 1914 was at Columbia, where 5,590 

 students were enrolled, as against 3,983 at 

 Chicago, 3,179 at California, 2,602 at Wiscon- 

 sin, 1,594 at Michigan, 1,436 at Cornell, 1,250 

 at Harvard, 1,218 at Tulane and 1,205 at Texas. 



Of the 145 students in architecture at the 

 University of California the 16 students listed 

 are graduates only. There are besides 129 who 

 are undergraduates in the college and these 

 are included in the college statistics. In art 

 are registered 213 students but these are in- 

 cluded in extension and similar courses. The 

 836 students in education are included in the 

 college statistics. Forestry and veterinary 

 medicine are included in the School of Agri- 

 culture, and music in the College of Liberal 

 Arts. The extension courses show the fol- 

 lowing registration: San Francisco Institute 

 of Art, 213; Wilmerding School of Industrial 

 Art, 145 ; University Farm School, Davis, 267 ; 

 short courses in agriculture, 170; correspond- 

 ence, 1,996; correspondence work in the state 

 prisons, 153; class work, 538; and class work 

 in state prisons, 608. 



Under other courses are listed at the Uni- 

 Tersity of Chicago 881 students, all of whom 

 are taking work in regular university classes 

 meeting Saturday morning and late in the 

 afternoon of the other week days. These 

 classes are given primarily for teachers who 

 are working for baccalaureate and for ad- 

 vanced degrees. 



At the University of Cincinnati a school of 

 household arts of college grade was opened this 

 year. An advance in entrance requirements to 

 the Medical College has reduced the classes for 

 several years but the turn of the tide has com- 

 menced and the entering class this year is 

 larger than that of recent years. 



Of the 1,817 students classified under edu- 

 cation at Columbia University 921 are is the 

 School of Education and 896 in the School 

 of Practical Arts. The decrease in the num- 

 ber of students in the Schools of Mines, Engi- 

 neering and Chemistry is caused by the fact 

 that these schools have been placed on a 

 graduate basis. Students are now required to 

 hold a bachelor's degree or the equivalent, in- 



cluding several elementary courses in the sci- 

 ences. 



At Cornell University 534 registered in the 

 winter course in agriculture are listed under 

 extension courses. 



The Graduate School of Applied Science at 

 Harvard University is in a state of transi- 

 tion, owing to the cooperative plan with Mass- 

 achusetts Institute of Technology. 



Of the 379 registered in other courses at 

 the University of Illinois, 333 are registered 

 under household science and 46 Under library 

 economy. 



The total attendance at the University of 

 Iowa, including all departments but excluding 

 the summer-session, is divided into 1,706 men 

 and 797 women. 



Of the 374 in the School of Medicine at 

 Johns Hopkins University 361 are registered 

 for the degree of Doctor of Medicine and 13 

 are taking special courses for physicians. 

 There are 170 students registered in the col- 

 lege courses for teachers given in the after- 

 noons. The department of engineering is only 

 in its third year and all but a small number, 

 that is the third year men, are pursuing 

 courses in the undergraduate college. No 

 record is made this year of the number. 



There are 154 students registered in educa- 

 tion at the University of Kansas, but all but 

 one of these are listed in other schools of the 

 university. 



Of the 1,492 students in the Scientific 

 Schools in the University of Michigan, 1,347 

 are in engineering and 145 in architecture. 

 The 535 officers include 30 non-resident lec- 

 turers and summer-session appointees for the 

 college, 128 graduate assistants, and 23 admin- 

 istrative officials not included elsewhere. 



The registrations at the University of Min- 

 nesota are incomplete, due to the fact that the 

 short courses, particularly in agriculture, have 

 not been started. These registrations will in- 

 crease the total mentioned under extension and 

 similar courses. 



The figures for the University of Missouri 

 include the enrollment in all schools at Colum- 

 bia and in the Schools of Mines and Metal- 

 lurgy at RoUo. The School of Commerce,
