NO INCREASE SHOWN IN APPLICANTS FOR 1937

Decision on Number of Freshmen To Be Admitted Next Year Will Not Be Made Until Late in Summer

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Entrance applications number approximately the same this year as last, according to an announcement made yesterday at University Hall. Although there has been an actual increase in the number applying for admission by examination, a smaller number has applied this year under the upper seventh plan.

"No decision has been reached as to possible variations in the entrance quota of 1000, as this matter cannot be determined until late in the summer," college officials said yesterday. The decision will only be reached "when exact information is available as to the number of readmissions and of upperclassmen who will be returning to college for the year 1933-34."

Last September, for the first time in several years, more than 1000 new men were admitted into the Freshman class. The quota of 1051 was an increase of 149 over the previous year. It was pointed out that applications for admission by examination word formally closed on May 1, while applications under the upper seventh plan closed July 1.
