Registration statistics for nearly all the American colleges and universities are now available. The figures show some very interesting facts. Out of twenty representative institutions all but one show an increase in registration. This is very possibly due to the European war, which has forced many who were taking their education abroad to remain in this country. The figures for this year and last follow: 1913-14  1914-15 Amherst,  420  415 Brown,  961  1011 Columbia,  9773  10,961 Cornell,  4619  4848 Dartmouth,  1329  1390 Harvard,  4354  4516 Leland Stanford, Jr.,  1739  1884 M.
