Some Interesting Features in Harvard's Enrolment

The figures of registration at Harvard this autumn are in some respects significant, but not because the university has made any notable gain in its total number of students. There is an increase over last year, both in the undergraduate and graduate departments, which is sufficient to indicate progress, although not of startling proportions. The most interesting phenomena are the marked growth of the business school and the much larger number of "unclassified" students in the undergraduate enrolment.

The attendance, in the Graduate School of Business Administration will come close to 600. This would not make the Harvard school unique among institutions of its class but for the fact that none except college graduates are admitted. Other business schools which admit students of undergraduates standing have a larger registration; but to assemble six hundred college graduates for further instruction in banking, insurance, marketing and so forth, is a rather remarkable achievement for a school which has been only a dozen years in existence. --Boston Herald.
