 Such development, which savers somewhat of the English university system, will, in my opinion never be- come widespread in this country, however, although a few American universities are tending toward the English tutoria1 system.
 This theory does not apply to the colleges of commerce or business ad- ministration, which have different problems than do the liberal arts col- ieges."
 The tendency toward great in creases in student enrolment is prac- tically over, in President Murlins opinion.
 "The interest of the college off, ciels will focus on the entering class in the fall of 1923" said President MurIin. Tt is doubtful if the en- rollment will then show anything but the normal increase. There will probably be a reduction rather than an increase in the entering classes all .Iyer the country.
