AT YOUR DOOR THREE [JTHE ONLY OFFICIAL EVENINGS A WEEK, 75E NSUMMER PUBLICATION Vol. V. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1914. No. 17. i LAW DEPT. DRAWS FROM 90 COLLEGES Barristers of Pist Year Numbered lien From Nearly 190 UIT. S and Foreign Schools DECREASE FROM LIST OF 1913 Ninety colleges and universities, sit- uated in the United States, Japan and Switzerland, were represented in the law department of the university by one or more students during the reg- ular term.. The marked increase in the last few years in respect to gradu- ate students shows the gradual growth of the department into a graduate school. The enrollment in the department last semester was about 550, a de- crease of over 100 from last year's record. The falling off is due to the recently added literary requirements, making one year of literary work com- pulsory for admission into the legal branch of university work. One hun- dred and ten colleges were represented by students last year, and comparing the present record of 94 with the pre- vious record, shows the falling off of graduates not in ratio with the de- creased enrollment. Out of 216 students enrolled in the senior law class, 52 were college grad- uates. Of this number 28 were gradu- ates of Michigan while the remaining 24 represented outside colleges. Since in many cases more than one student enters the school from the same uni- versity, the number of colleges other than Michigan represented in the sen- ior class, numbered 19. One hundred twenty students com- posed the junior class, out of which, 69 received their degrees in literary work, 41 from Michigan and 28 from outside colleges. The latter 28 stu- dents represent 21 colleges foreign to Michigan. Eighty-five non-graduates complete the junior enrollment. A registration of 194 students has been made in the last freshman class. Twenty seven of the enrolled were college graduates, five from Michigan, and the remaining 22 from other uni- versities. The 167 non-graduates in this class were divided into, 40 coin- bined course men, 88 from the Michi- gan literary department, and the re- saining 39 entered from other colleges without degrees. The 88 Michigan non-graduates were divided into one, two and three year literary men; 60 from the first class, 25 from the sec- ond and 3 from the third. Of the 39 students from outside colleges, six have had three years' literary work, 17, two years' literary work, and 16, '10 DISPLAY HIPPO PO'iA-1ft"' SKELETON AU MUSEUM IN FALL The skeleton of the extinct hippo- potamus found in the Pleistocene de- posits of Madagascar, which was pre- sented to the university museum by ex-governor Chase S. Osborn, will not be placed on exhibition until some- time during the fall. Mr. N. A. Wood, the taxidermist, is at White Fish Point, Michigan, this summer, and is engaged in gathering birds and reptiles found in that part of the state. He will ar- rive here about the first of September, and the work in taxidermy will be re- sumed. The skull, however, is on ex- hibition on the first floor of the mu- seum, having ben prepared by Mr. Wood before leaving.
