The University still leads in the enrollment for military training at Plattsburg, in the graduate camps as well as the undergraduate. Three hundred and sixty-four members of the University have signed up at the Regimental office and 687 alumni have enlisted. Yale is next, with 103 undergraduates and 394 alumni. Nearly one-fifth of the students at Williams are going.
Contrary to the general notion, fewer than half of the 9,000 already enlisted are college men. Business and professional men from every walk of life are enrolled. Northern New England has furnished 2,000, 1,600 of whom come from Greater Boston. The first camp will start in less than two weeks.
