In connection with the Harvard Catalogue, which has just appeared, some interesting figures have come to light relative to the comparative number of students at Harvard and at Yale during the current year. They are given below. They are from the catalogues of the two universities and are therefore official.

Harvard. Yale.

College, 1770 1199

Scientific School, 340 583

Graduate School, 285 98

Divinity School, 41 105

Law School, 465 224

Medical School, 530 125

School of Arts, 8

School of Music, 11

Dental School, 102

Veterinary School, 55

Bussey Institution, 12

3600 2353

These figures need some explanation. In the first place, no students are repeated in this list. In the Harvard catalogue 5 names were repeated, in the Yale catalogue about 98 names were enrolled twice. Accordingly the Yale figures would, in the catalogue be larger by something like 98. The reason for it is this: Before the Yale Graduate School was founded, the students who took graduate courses were enrolled in their respective departments. When that school was started all graduates were enrolled in the new department. But their names were retained in the list of the other departments. For instance, about 50 students are enrolled as members both of the Scientific School and Graduate School at Yale.
