College enrollment is always a baf- lig mt Utter to analyze, because of the differing b ase s of registry at .the vari- ous institutions. it is difficult for the inexperienced to make proper al- lowance for summer school attendance and for duplications of names in the several interlocking departments. But if we refer to a publication like the. World Almanac, which presumably as- sembles its annual tables of college. enrollment uniformly, we find only too serious confirmation of what the 1Michigan Alumnus presents. According to the- tables' mentioned, the standing of the first nine colleges in number of; students was as follows twenty years ago: Harvard, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Yale, Minnesota, Cali- fornia, Columbia, Chicago, Cornell. 1T'en years later they had rearranged themselves into this, order: Harvard, Chicago, Michigan, Columbia,. Minne- sota, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Yale, Cali- Ifolrnia. The table for the present year raiiks them: Columbia, Minnesota, 'California, Chicagq, Pennsylvania, IMichigan, Cornell, Harvard, Yale. .o U.
