The Law School.

The report of Dean Langdell of the Law School shows that the past year has been a successful one in spite of the falling off in the number of new men, which is more than accounted for by the new rule requiring every student not a graduate of a college to pass the admission examination as a condition of entering the school.

The number of students who entered the school in the past year was 223, being an increase of 12 over the number who entered in 1891-92, and greater by 51 than in any previous year, thus making an increase of 63 in the number of new entries in two years. In the current year the number of new men to date has dropped to 170, being less by 40 than the number who had entered at the corresponding date a year ago.

The number of college graduates who entered the school in the year 1892-93 was 128, being less by 4 than in 1891-92; but the number who entered in the latter year was greater by 25 than in any previous year. The number of new entries for the current year is 138, being 16 more than at the corresponding date a year ago, and 37 more than at the corresponding date in any previous year.

The number of Harvard graduates who entered the School in 1892-93 was 58, being less by 1 than in 1891-92. The number entered in the present year is 53, being less by 4 than at the corresponding date a year ago.

While, therefore, the number of Harvard graduates entering the school has been gradually diminishing during the last few years, the number of graduates of other colleges entering the school has more than doubled during the same period, the number having risen from 35 in 1889-90 to 85 in the current year.

The following table shows the number of students who have entered the school in each year during the last ten years, and shows how many of them were graduates of Harvard, and how many of other colleges:
