Phone 240 COLLEGE STUDENT BODY STILL INCREASES IN THE UNITED STATES Classrooms and dormitories from coast to coast are crowded beyond capacity this Fall with what is pre- sumably the largest throng at stu- dents' ever to attend college -in the United States or any other country. From modest New England cam- puses to the huge State universities of the West and South, the ivied gates with few exceptions have closed behind student swarms even greater than those of last year, ac- cording to a survey made by The New York Times of more than 100 colleges and private schools: throughout the nation, And regis- trars in' institutions of every type. attribute their good fortune to bet- ter times. Record- breakivg as "the enroll- ments are, however, they give evi- dence that the great American rush into higher education may be slow- ing down somewhat. Where last Fall figures indicated an increase of more than 6 per cent. in regis- trations over the previous year, this year the average gain over last is 3.9 per cent., less than two- thirds -as great. Paradoxically enough, it seems to be in the West, all of whose vast State institutions in the survey ex- cept two have chalked up record totals, that the rate of increase has most conspicuously declined. Where last year Western colleges and universities in the poll averaged an 8.2 per cent student gain, this year they have only 3.8 per cent, a figure slightly below the national average and little better 'than that of the East. «+0 A surprising number of educa- tional institutions 'have been created or put on an up-to-date basis in Oriental lands during the past few months, Medhurst College in Shanghai added a new three-storey fireproof * science building to the campus just before the war, with Japan broke out, while Japan, at . the same time was building an "international house" for foreign students. in Tokio and was prepar- ing a plan to enlarge the exchange of students from 'many countries. India, at the same time, is adding \ departments to her universities for the study of the ancient indigenous schools of medicine in.an effort to retrieve much ancient learning. --From The World Observer * & @ The more interest a child is brought in touch with the better able is he to choose a career suit- able to his ability and his inclina- * tions. eo 0 "Students of Rochester University may rent prints of good pictures for their rooms ....
