The University Catalogue, which will be issued on January 20, shows a total enrolment this year of 6183, a decrease of 62 from last year's figures. The registration of the Lawrence Scientific School, the Bussey Institute, and the Afternoon and Saturday Courses for Teachers indicates a considerable falling off from last year, which is not counterbalanced by gains in the Law School and the Summer School. The drop in the Lawrence Scientific School was to be expected, since many men are taking advantage of the opportunity to register in Harvard College for the degree of S.B. The loss from this cause is, however, only 108 as compared with 300 last year. The Graduate School of Applied Science has more than doubled in size, from 29 to 63.
