3534 Undergraduates Listed as 1938-39 Registration Closes; Few Still Expected

Late Arrivals Are to Still Be Allowed to Enter if Delay Is Caused by Weather

With most of the students in the College here despite hurricane and flood, total Undergraduate enrollment at the close of registration last night was 3,534, as compared with 3,694 at this same time last year, officials announced today.

Late registrations are expected to increase this year's enrollment by the end of the week. College officials said that there will be an unusually large number of late registrations this year because of the adverse meteorological conditions.

Although the college is usually very strict about the necessity of registering on time, Dean Hanford yesterday said that excuses for tardiness because of the weather would still be accepted. The New Haven railroad is running several trains a day now from New York, the trip involving the necessity of going from New London to Westerly by bus, and several highways into New England are open.

The enrollment in the college to date, with last year's figures in parenthesis, is as follows: Seniors, 763 (756); Juniors, 817 (888); Sophomores, 880 (940); Freshmen, including 70 dropped Freshmen, 1018 (1036); and out of course students, 56 (74).
