Any suggestion that a university should limit the number of its students would once have been thought fantastic, if not postively ridiculous. Recent experience, however, has tended to give point to the question: May not a college or university serve the student body more efficiently and do more for the individual student if the number of those enjoying its advantages at a given time bears some definite relation to the number of instructors and the extent of the facilities offered? Some of the State universities began a few years ago to grow by leaps and bounds, as the saying is. It is an open secret that their rapid numerical growth caused apprehension in more than one faculty. We have now (since the war) reached a point at which the endowed universities are making a desperate fight to hold their faculties together even at increased salaries. Expansion seems out of the question. Some institutions find that a serious lack of dormitories compels them either to refuse applications for admission or to enter at once on a costly building program. Princeton is of this group and President Hibben has named a faculty committee to prepare a plan which, while imposing a limitation--perhaps two thousand--will be fair to applicants and will be likely to bring to Princeton a body of students who will make the best use of their opportunities.
