REGISTRATION HARDLY AFFECTED

No Material Decrease in Attendance During Civil War.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The decrease in the number of students in College this year is much greater than the corresponding registration figures for the period of the Civil War, according to statistics compiled by the College Office. In fact, during the first three years of the Civil War the number of undergraduates remained practically constant, while this year the College has lost more than 900 men, a decrease of more than one-third as compared to last year's registration.

In the Graduate Schools the falling-off in attendance from 1860 to 1863 was more pronounced than the decrease in the College, but this loss is not commensurate with the falling-off in the Graduate School attendance this year.

Registration figures in the College before and after the outbreak of the Civil War are listed below: 1860-1861  1861-1862  1862-1863 Freshmen,  125  114  104 Sophomores,  130  115  106 Juniors,  98  118  106 Seniors,  80  95  116 Total,  433  442  432
