REGISTRATION YALE COLLEGE
 ABOUT NORMAL
Total Student Body Will Reach 3,OOO-College Will
 Have 1,200.

Tn striking contrast with the sit- Aation a year ago, the University N9ens today with the promise of sormal, but significant year. So far IS preliminary enrolment figures are lvailable. It appears as # there would be a total student registration lf about 5000 which would be only a few hundred under what was con r5ered before the war O normanl en- rollment for the University.
 There arc some interesting fen .ures of the return to normal reg atration. Both undergraduate and freshman classes will probably eX- -eed 800 when the final registration Is completed. The College should total about 1,200 and the SherieIc Scientific School about 1000. One of the most marked increases will be in the Medical School where the lar gest entering class in years will mum ber between 40 and 90. bringing the totaI students fin Jhat school to ap- proNlmatrIy 100. The Law school Gl- so has the largest entering class fn several years, numbering about 45. The Law school total will probably he in excess of 100. In the School of Forestry approximately 30 men will le enrolled. two-thirds of these new students. and five returning from war service to complete their work. Among the students at the Forest school arc a dozen foreigners from an parts of the world. The School of Religion should number between 90 TOO. This win bring the total enroll ment of the nIue schools to about 5000, and the number may eventu- ally run beyond that figure.
 No year has begun under more fay- orabIe auspices As a result of the reore1ufzltio1 action taken by the Corporation toward the end of the last academic year, the new year starts on a changed basis. Direction of entrance examinations for the two undergra duato schools has been vest cd in a Joint Entrance Admission Board Of which Professor Robert A. Corwin is chairman with offices lt 100 Wall street. All entering nnder- Eruduate students have been reQuir- cd take examinations in American n history and government. For the first time in tho history of the Sheffield Scientific school. that undergraduate school offers only courses of four years and tho first Shelf Sophomore class, made up of about 100 students. is announced. The Select Course no longer exists in the Scientific School, except for those who are completing the three years course in which they have formerly enrolled. The Sheffield School thus becomes a school of ap- piled science and engineering on a four year basis The common Fresh man year. which will require all un- Hcruraduate students to take their first year work in common will not go into effect untn a year from this time.
 Two University reconstruction changes are of particular significance as marking Improvements in the educationa machinery of the inshtu- ton. One Ls the departmentalization of the University, creating Q Faculty in each of the chief divisions of study and istruction instead of a separate Facu1tv for each department in every one of the nine schools of the Uni versitv. The other change is the trans fer of graduate work in engineering and science from the Sheffield Scien- tihc School to the Graduate School, where tho degree of Master of Science and the higher engineering degrees win hereafter be administered. The initial increase in the salaries of fn- st-uctors, assistant professors and professors was another important g CD taken in the reorganization by fa Yale Corporation,
 Conspicuous among the additions tu he Faculty are Professor John John ston, professor of industrial chemis- try. formerly Secretary of the Nation aI Research Council; Professor Char les J. Tilden. professor of enginee ing mechanics in the Scientific School; Professor Willard IT. Barbour and Edward F. Thurston in the School of Law and Professor Albert Feuiuerat If the University of Renes, who will serve as visiting lecturer at the Uni verSity for the first half of the year rtving instruction in EliZabethan literature.
