Chicago, Harvard. Princeton. Stanford.
Virginia, and Yale have had losses IN
the number Of men students, while Cali
forn!a. Michigan. Minnesota. Nebraska,

discover a loss IN numbers at Chicago,
Indiana Nebraska. and Pennsylvania,
while the largest gains in the academic
division during the same period have been
made by Syracuse. Wisconsin, Michigan.
Missouri, Northwestern, Minnesota, and
Columbia The largest number OF AGA
demic students is sill found al Harvard.
which IS followed by Yale. Michigan. Wis
consin, Chicago, Columbia, Princeton, and
Minnesota
The only institutions that report a de-
crease in the number Of scientific students
are Harvard. Kansas. Nebraska, and ViT-
ginia. and Of these the first mentioned is
the only one that shows y loss as com
pared with 1902, OF course, owing TO the
fact that the baccalaureate degree is row
required for admission 10 the Harvard
engineering schools. The gain in this
department since 1902 at Michigan has
been from So TO L-S52. The largest num-
Der Of students Of this class is still found
at Cornell. Michigan and Illinois being
the only others that attract more than
L 900 students TO their scientific schools;
these are followed by Yale, Ohio. WILSON,
sin. California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
Columbia. and Missouri Nebraska and
Princeton, each Of these universities hav-
ing more than 800 students in attendance
on their scientific schools.
Medical schools Show Loss.
The attendance in the schools Of law
connected with the universities under
consideration shows in general a fair in
crease over last year, whereas in the
case OF the medical schools there would
be a distinct loss IL II were not for the
fact that several independent schools had
been absorbed BY universities IN the
course Of the year; in fact, there are at
present no less than about 500 less stu
dents OF medicine in attendance in the
institutions credited with medical schools
in the tables OF both 1905 and 1852 than
there were in the latter year. while in
the case Of the law schools there has
been a gain Of about 800 students during
the same period. Minnesota, Yale. Co
lUmbia. and Virginia exhibit the largest
increase in law since 1901. Indiana. Min
