1400 to Register For Busy School Today, Tomorrow

With a near-record, 1400-odd enrollment, the Graduate School of Business Administration enters its fortieth year of operation today as an estimated 720 first-term students register at Baker Library across the Charles.

Tomorrow, the arrival of 692 second-year men--starting, either their third or their fourth term--is expected to push the total number of MBA candidates over the 1400 mark.

Eighty-two other students attending the B-School enrolled three weeks ago in the Advanced Management Class, composed of the executives of 50 different companies.

The School's admissions committee selected the entering class from 2,300 formal applications and, like other years, Harvard represents the chief source of supply for the two-year business course with 101 graduates. Ten percent of the class comes from foreign countries.

Other statistics of the incoming group reveal that the median age is 24.6 years, that 90 percent of the new men are veterans, and that 30 percent are married.
