Six Thousand Students Arrive Today to Register, Start Work as College Opens

More than 6000 students will arrive in Cambridge today to complete the enrollment of approximately 8000 in the College and Graduate Schools. The Undergraduate total will be about the same as last year, some 3700 men.

Of the 1000 Freshmen who were expected to register last Friday, only a little less than 800 did so, due to the difficulty in reaching Cambridge from New York and the west. Allowance was accordingly made for those who arrived late, and facilities for the registration of Freshmen were retained in Memorial Hall during Saturday's registration of Upperclassmen.

Courses Are Being Chosen

First meetings of courses are starting today in several of the Graduate Schools and will be held Wednesday and Thursday in the College. Upperclassmen will spend a varying amount of time between now and tomorrow afternoon picking their courses for the first half year.

Choices of courses will be made by even more varying criteria; but whether a student picks a course because it is supposed to be easy, because it meets at a convenient time, because he thinks he is a good friend of the instructor, because it meets in the same room as his preceding class and he will not have to wake up to change classes, or because its examination comes at a convenient date, he will have a well thought out and serious reason for taking it when he confronts his tutor today or tomorrow for his signature on the study card, which must be field in University Hall by 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
