exception of the art and electrical schools.

is gratifying increase in the attendance
at the university. The enrolment of the
academic freshman class shows gain over
last year. while in the Law School the en-
tering class Is the largest since the course
has been heightened to three years. 1t is
expected that the total registration of the
school will be larger than ever before.
The education machinery of Harvard
University was started during the past
week. Registration in all departments
cupied Wednesday and part of Thursday.
The first lectures were at 100 Thursday.
