YALE MEN TAKE TO THE LAW
The Bar Still Attracts One-Thrd of the
universlty's Graduates.

The statisticians at Yale have
drawn up a table to show what occu,
pationS the graduates OF the instIti.
tion have chosen In the last century.
From the table 1t appears that the
ministry has fallen off greatly as an
attraction.
When the century opened about 80
per cent of Yale graduates were min
listers. Beginning with 1860 this num-
Der took great fall. Since 1865 the
average has been six per cent
The averages for law and medicine
have remained about the same AS a
rule ten per cent, of Yale's graduates
are doctors. In law the figures have
been steadily about 33 per cent.
In teaching and science the figures
have increased very gradually from
about two per cent. to IL per cent
The strongest upward tendency has
been that of business The farmers
have fallen off ever since the southern
planters ceased to enter Yale
Business now attracts about one
third of the men. and the law about
one-third. The other third is divided
between the ministry. science, teach
ing. forestry and few other branches.
