YALE MEN PREFER
NEW PROFESSIONS
Deserving Law and Theology
for Industrial and Com
mercial Careers.
ENGINEERS GAINING FAST

New HAVEN. Conn. April 2s.-After
studying the occupations OF the $4,000
living graduates of Yale, Prof. Charles
r. Scott has Just made public statistics
that show Yale men are deserving the
professions Of law. theology and incdi-
cine for manufacturing, finance and
engineering. Ten years ago there were
four times as many Yale lawyers az
engineers. hut the increase in lawyers
since then has beer only "a per cent.
and engineers have increased 1875 per
cent.
The distribution by occupations OF
Yale graduates shows that 5000 are
employed in one OF the eight principal
occupations, including law. education.
medicine and the ministry, so-caiied
general professions or manufacturing.
finance, mercantile or engineering, So
called industrial or commercial profess
sions
According to Prof Scott's figures the
increase In the total number OF living
graduates during the last ten years has
been ~ per cent. During this time the
Increase In the number going into the
general professions has been but % per
cent. and IN the industrial and COM
mercial groups the increase has been 81
per cent Since 1904 no; only SO per
cent. Of the graduates OF the Sheffield
Scientific School. but IS per cent OF
the graduates OF the college. have gone
into either engineering or manufactur-
ing I'rof Scott said in explanation
The change in the engineering di-
vision Is most marked and significant
Ten years ago engineering held the low
est position among the eight principal
professions Of Yale men. The Increase
In numbers since then, however. has
been considerably more than 1000
a greater increase than in any Other
profession. From eighth rank engineer
ing has passed to third, being a close
rival to manufacturing for second
place.
THE number Of students in the Shelf
field Scientific School has doubled in
shout dozen years. OF all the
buildings erected AT Yale since the
bicentennial the Osborn memorial la
boratories. the new buildings for the
