It is anticipated that class OF at least 800

80 or 100 more. Four hundred and eighty
one entered last year, which was 30 more
than the year previous.
Ten more accredited schools are on the
list this year. The recent controversy
over the "fit" in English will probably
make no material difference in the num-
Der of entrants. There will of course be
more on condition than if the thirty-nine
schools had not been blackIisted.
