A u?tal registration of 2,483 students for the entire university was reported to President Nevils'at the meeting Df| the new board of regents last Sunday following his inaugural. The depart- ment of arts and sciences, formerly one | of the smallest units of the university, | Jeads in registration with a student body of 988. Of this number New York State has furnished 229, New Jersey is| second with 142 and the District of Co- lumbia ranks third with 124 students. Medical School Gains. i Reglstration at the School of Medi- | eine gms jumped to second place with | 473 students, made possible through the opening of new laboratory facilities and an increase of 18 in the number of | freshmen over last year. —The Law School ranks third with 458 students, ©of whom 233 are registered in the morn- { ing class and 220 in the evening class. This shows the growing popularity of the full-time course and is an encour- aging factor in the growth. of the school, the authorities explained. More | than half the law students have college | 2grees. The School of Foreign Service fol- lowed with 434 registered students. A repart on its library facilities showed 20,000 volumes and pamphlets and 65 periods regularly received. In the} School of Dentistry the registration | totaled 120, with a marked increase in | the number of freshmen. Completion of the new medical and dental build- ing authorized by the university will greatly benefit these two departments. The question of arranging for dormi- tory facilities at or near the college for the growing number of full-time Jaw students was discussed and met with general satisfaction. Another matter which the r:??nm considered was the work on behalf of the alumni essociation. It was the consensus that paid secretaries should be engaged in the largest alu=ni centers so as to fa- cilitate the work of organization. Fran- cis D. Cronin is the general secretary of the alumni association, with head- quarters at the Hilltop. A committee on student activities, follows: Rev. , S. J.; John Hughes Cassidy of Water- bury.
