j. OF N. HAS
5,36l STUDENTS
FIVE LESS FOREIGN COUNTRIES
REPRESENTED THIS YEAR
THAN LAST, SAYS
REPORT.

Registrar Hall OF the University Of
Michigan has just finished counting
noses at that institution and there are
exactly 5,3S1, good. bad and Indifferent
noses at the big university this year,
and they come from every section of
the globe AS corresponding TO last
years noses there are exactly two
less this year.
Also there were five countries rep
resented at Michigan last year which
are not represented this year; those
countries are Chill, Costo Rica, New
Brunswick, Persia and Scotland. How
ever those five countries only furnish
ed five students all told, and this year
there are two representatives from
Ireland and one from Asia Minor To
make up in a measure. and last year
there We're no students from either OF
these countries. Further than this. the
latest registration statistics show the
rather amazing fact that China sends
more students To- the u. of M than
does Ontario, the former country send
ing 20 natives and Ontario 25. This is
an increase of 23 students from far of
China over last year.
Many Eastern Students.
About month ago the newspapers
in Michigan and nearby states com
mented at great length upon the fact
that there were 81 Michigan students
in Harvard university. but the fact
was not brought out that for the most
part these 81 students were graduate
students taking post graduate work
there. However. 1t is even more in
teresting to note that there are today
80 students i'm the University of Mich
igan from Massachusetts, all taking
under graduate work But for all that
the last student census shows that
there are fewer students at Michigan
coming from the east than there were
last year, but also IL shows that there
are many more here from the western
and southern states. The gain in some
of the western states is very consider
able. There has also been a falling off
of IL students from the state of Mich
igan.
For ten years past Ohio has stood
second only to Michigan in point Of
numbers Of students in the university.
but Ohio must take a third place this
year, as she has been crowded out by
New York. which sends AS students.
as against Ohio's 39S, and so also has
Pennsylvania crowded Indiana from
fifth place, Pennsy having sent 2O2
students while Indiana has but 1S4
representatives.
