YArjB REGISTRATION.

Academic Freshman Class Will Be
 About Same as Last Year,
 The registration of the academic freshman class at Yale has been com- pleted, and shows that there are 38O in- coming freshmen. In making com parison with the entering class of last year there must be added to this about fifty members of the class of 1909, who though members of that class are rat ed as freshmen owing to conditions. This will bring the total number regis tered up to SSO. The entering class last year numbered 3S9 including those rat ed as freshmen, so that it will be seen that this years class is substantially the same in numbers.
 The figures for the entering class at Shelf. have not yet, been compiled. It will be remembered that last years en- tering class at the school exceeded in numbers that of the academic depart ment for the first time in the history of the school, so that the figures this fall will be awaited with interest.
 In the other departments of the uni versity the conditions which obtain are rather different from those in the two largest, for the registration in the de-
