The following paragraphs are explanatory 

 of statistics appearing herewith with some ad- 

 ditional information. 



A study of the student enrollment in the 

 scientific schools of mines, engineering and 

 agriculture at Columbia University shows a 

 steady decrease in enrollment corresponding 

 to a steady increase of admission requirements 

 now based upon a collegiate course of at least 

 three years. 



It is interesting to note that of the 1,60S 

 students of agriculture at Cornell, 290 are 

 women. There are seven women enrolled in 

 the law school of that University, twenty-one 

 in medicine, three in architecture, and one in 

 mechanical engineering. 



At the University of Cincinnati two years 

 of college work has been added as a prere- 

 quisite for entrance to the school of household
