PHILADELPHIA, December 14.— Collegiate attendance this year, despite | prevailing conditions, more than main- | tains the previous highest enroliment | record, says Raymond Walters, dean | of Swarthmore College,, in his annual | review of collegiate matriculation. Reports from 444 approved universi- ties and_colleges in all parts of the| United States, says Dean Walters in | | the current issue of School and Society, | shows an_increase of six-tenths of 1 per_cent The total of 599,124 of full-time stu- dents, as of November 1. is 3.721-more than on the same date in 1930 | The grand total of 444 institutions, | including part-time students and the Summer session of 1931, is 926,611, a | decrease of 5417, or one-half of 1| per cent, compared with the same total ) of 1930, Fewer Women Registered. An_analysis of the current reports reveals that the total of women in 286 liberal arts colleges and departments i5 2,044 smaller than a year ago. “This | means,” the writer declares, “that | where families have felt the financial pinch some of them have continued their sons at college and have kept | their daughters at home.” [ Regional summaries include: Middle Atlantic States, 61 tions report increases, 41 d Southern_States, 49 increas creases; North Central States, creases, 69 decreases; West States, 8 increases, 12 Southwestern States. 20 decreases; Northwestern States, 6 in- creases, 8 decreases; California, 7 in- creases, 5 decreases.

Cornelia Otis Skinner Delightful at National. HE WIVES OF HENRY [ VIIL” as they are pre- sented by Cornelia Otis Skinner, are such an en- tertaining lot, that those who by hook or by erook are able to do so are urgently advised to get them- selves down to the National tonight and see them in their last local ap- pearance. Miss Skinner’s performance in this series of historical sketches—and good old King Hal must quake during every performance—is not only a tour de force, it is also absolutely 100 per cent entertainment. You need not g0 with your teeth set and a forced smile ready for “the lady who is go- ing to see what she can do for vou during the evening.” You will rather be faced by a de- lightful personality, who, you may well think, has divided herself into six or seven, possibly ten or eleven, totally distinet personages This vastly distinguished lady, whose pen has sketched out a de- lightful series of pre-Elizabethan wives and who “speaks’ them so succinctly that they seem to have been born gnew, has knitted them so well together that when all is done, they seem like sisters in sorrow and more easily remembered than ever they were in the days of the text books. Miss Skinner makes, for instance, of Anne Boleyn an amaz- Cornelia Otis Skinner ingly lovely creature; of Jane Sey- mour a doubly “passive” woman, who could never get herself to say, “Henry”; of Anne of Cleves such a gutturally impossible thing that it is no wonder Henry took but a peep at her and then fled to the divorce courts—and of the other two—Kath- eryn Howard and Katherine Parr (not forgetting good old Catherine of Aragon), two courageous ladies Who trembled nightly over the shad- OWs of their predecessors. All these tragic ladies, who dur- ing their respective reigns walked around at the end of a noose, Miss Skinner has endowed not only with costumes, which suggest the original flesh and blood, but with faces, forms and familiarisms and a won- derful sense of the brevity of earthly existence which it would be hard to improve upon. Added, too, is Miss Skinner's innate sense of the ridicu- lous, as well as the sublime, which she exhibited in several.of her in- imitable shorter sketches, which pre- ceded the Queens. Among the shorter sketches last night were “Eve of Departure,” * & Gondola,” “Homework” ‘“Monte Carlo” and “A Lady Explorer,” each of which deserves a medal in its own right. As did everything on the program—except the pro- gram itself, which had all sorts of odd spelling on it, including the misspelling at one place of Miss Eoleyn's name, James for Jane, and the following about Katheryn How- ard : “Henry was fatuously fond of his young wife and bewailed his misfortune when she was charged with immortality prior to her mar- riage.” E. de S.
