The Cornell Register for the current year is now announced for delivery next week. It will be a volume of some 225 pages, and will adequately represent one of the most prosperous years in the existence of the University. The total enrollment is 829, divided as follows: Resident graduates 41, seniors 97, juniors 145, sophomores 178, freshmen 323, special students 45. For residence New York claims 497, Pennsylvania 54, Ohio 53, and every state in the Union with the single exception of Arkansas has a delegation of larger or smaller number. A change has been made in the calendar by which the summer vacation is somewhat lengthened, although the other vacations are so shortened that the length of the college year remains unchanged. The list of resident officers of instruction and administration numbers 91.
In the work of instruction, two courses of lectures are attracting special attention. One is by ex-President White on "The New Germany," and the other is Mr. Sanborn's course on "Social Science." Students in the latter course accompany Mr. Sanborn every Saturday on an excursion to some charitable or reformatory institution in the neighborhood. The Elmira Reformatory, Willard Asylum, and the Auburn Penitentiary are among the places visited by the class.
The beautiful chapel of the University has been crowded on the occasion of the University sermons thus far this term. Prof. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard occupied the pulpit on Easter day. - N. Y. Evening Post.
