Attention is called to the fect tha.t next to the la:,. < class in
.e st.ory of the college was srad.uated this :pst year. Nea-Iry s many stu-dents
were gradu.tedr as entered the freshm.^n cl..s in Set e mbrh-r, 1952. In all
class es above the freshe.n lore students drop out th-n enter, so it is seen
th.t all. increases in regristration must be made in the fre-shman cl.ss Our
freshman re2:istr.tion for this year is sligh.tly more then 19 _oar cent above
that of la..st year, a figure which seems to us rather encoura~mn g :hen compared
with re-oorts from other institutions over the country. Our total decrease was
o- oer cent.
