THOUSAND LESS
Students AT
HARVARD IN 1918

Cambridge. Mass, June 21.-Harrard
University looks for a decrease of at
least one thousand students in enroll
ment next year as a result of the war,
said President A. Lawrence Lowell in
addressing the Alumni association to-
day. This. he added, would mean a
reduction of 100000 in receipts from
tuition fees.
Any professor or faculty member go
ing to the front will receive from the
university the difference between his
regular salary and the amount paid
him by the government. In this con-
nection he said that a graduate today
had notified him that he stood ready
to contribute $4,000 toward making up
the expected deficit from tuition fees.
The total gifts presented by Har-
ward during the past year amounted to
s2,271 900, the president said.
