Yale Catalogue.

There are 1969 students registered which is a gain of 185 over last year. The total number of instructors is 185 against 156 last year. Five new scholarships of $400 each, and 20 of $200 each have been established in the post-graduate department, making a total of 39 graduate scholarships against 13 year ago. There are 23 women in the graduate school, representing nearly every womens' college in the country.

There is a change in the requirements of admission to the Academic department by the introduction of an examination in English Literature.

There are 507 students in the freshman class against 468 a year ago. This includes those in the Sheffield Scientific School.
