Enrolment in the University.

Usually the first official statement in regard to the number of students in the University is made in the University Catalogue, which is issued in December. This year, however, unauthorized statements have been made in regard to the attendance so erroneous and so misleading that it has been thought best to give an official statement earlier than usual. It must, however, be borne in mind in comparing the figures given below that those showing the attendance last year have, with a few specified exceptions, been taken from the Catalogue, and that between this date and the date when the Catalogue is published there are always some transfers and new registrations. It will be noticed that the registration this year is in every department larger than it was last year.
