OF YALE MEN:
THIRTY PER CENT IN LAW

Secretary Stokes of the Yale corpo-
ration recently published an elaborate
set of tables showing occupations of
living Yale graduates, says New Ha-
ven special dispatch to the New York
Post. These, combined with statistics
compiled several years ago by Profess
or j. c. Scslwab, show some interest
ing changes and other features.
During the first century and half
of the college a large proportion Of
graduates went into the learned profess
sions. especially the ministry. Thus,
from 11O1 To 11if out of iS3 graduates
there were DO clergymcn, 33 lawyers,
80 physicians; from 1144 to 1902 out OF
5uJ graduates there were 1S6 clergy
men, 80 lawyers and GA physicians;
from 1IG3 to 111I out of ASA graduates
there were iJ4 clergymen. 90 lawyers
and - physicians. Fourteen CLASSES in
the first half of the nineteenth century,
ending with the year 1915. show, aver
aging tie percentages. about 81 per
cent in the ministry. "a per cent in the
law and about II per cent in medicine.
the rapid growth of the law as COM
pared with the ministry being note
worthy. During the last sixty years
these proportions have SO changed that
now out of 1925 living graduates Of
the academic department only 49S, Or
about I per cent, are in the ministry,
while 2.I3o, or about 80 per cent, are
in the law and J5I, or about per cent,
are physicians.
Taking the last ten years. during
which the number of living graduates
in each class is about equal, the num-
Der of teachers rose from % to 40.
finance from 30 to 45, manufacturing
from IS to 81, and in mercantile life
from 10 to 80. Out OF 1865 living
graduates of the whole university there
are in arts and music 1876; agriculture
o54; education, 1,iS9; engineering, $40;
finance, 1,13S; government service, 200;

representing the yocations of more
than 96 per cent of living Yale grad
yates.
The striking features of the figures
for the last few decades are the great
and rapid increase in the number of
graduates who go into business and
become linen of affairs and the de-
crease of the ministry and of agri-
culture. Education. law. medicine and
public service latterly about hold their
own.
The departmental returns show that
out of SD graduates of the theological
school 20S, or almost one fourth, have
abandoned the ministry for other call
inSs, chiefly teaching, which took 121.
Out of 1,423 living graduates in law
32I have gone into other vocations.
Chiefly finance. manufacturing AMI
mercantile life. Out of $50 living grad
yates i'll medicine only 81 have aban-
doned it. OF 2,S23 living graduates of
the scientific school about one-quarter
G1O) have become engineers, while 1S5
have become teachers, 315 have gone
into finance, 500 into manufacturing.
90 into medicine and 500 into mercan-
tile life. Out of 363 living graduates
Of the graduate school receiving de-
greeS 259 have become teachers.
Tie local drift as TO occupations is
somewhat strikingly denoted by re-
turns which show that during the three
years - 1901-O4 = the north Atlantic
f,+o 70 n
yates, the south Atlantic states from
451 to 544, the middle and northwest
from 2.034 to 2.2o1, the southwest from
264 to 80, and the Pacific states from
541 to $50. In proportion to the whole
number of graduates in a locality the
changes are thus very evenly distribut-
ed. There are 500 graduates whose
vocationS cannot be classified.
