Scores of occupations are represented in the enrolment lists of the University Extension Courses in Boston, which are rapidly growing as the application pour into the office of the University Extension Commission at University Hall, Cambridge.

A few of the courses have already begun, including that on French History and Civilization, given by Dean Haskins of the Harvard Graduate School, who recently was a member of the American Peace Commission. Others are still to hold their first meeting. Next Monday evening begins Professor T. N. Carver's course on Programmes of Social Reconstruction, in which he will analyze and criticize Socialism in its various forms; Anarchism, Communism, Bolshevism, the Single Tax, and other projected schemes. On Tuesday evening, Professor Andrews, of Tufts College, will begin an evening course on American History, with lectures twice a week. Meanwhile, the application for the various courses are coming in rapidly.

Those who have sent in their names in the last two days include a bookseller, a cranberry grower, a librarian, a machinist, and a retired business man. There are numerous stenographers, clerks, lawyers, social workers, and nurses. The list includes a woman telegrapher and a real estate broker; a writer and an electrical tester; a salesman and a reporter; a hotel housekeeper and at least one "wife and mother." Teachers, of course, are in the majority. The students include graduates of Harvard and numerous other colleges.
