University of Pennsylvania Catalogue.

The University of Pennsylvania catalogue for 1893-94, which is to be published within a short time, shows a number of marked advances in many of the departments. The enrollment in the college is much larger than it has ever been before, there being 683 men in all, of whom 188 are in the freshman class. The faculty has been increased by fifteen new instructors and a new system of courses has been introduced which provides for a larger number of electives than has been offered before. A school of journalism has been founded in the college department.

The change in the Medical department from a three-year course to a four-year course has resulted in a slight loss in the total enrollment. There are 796 men in this department. In the Law department there are 228 men enrolled, showing a marked increase over last year. In the Dental department there are 231 students, in the Philosophical, 154. The Auxiliary Medical, Veterinary, Hygiene and Graduate Law departments bring the enrollment of the University up to 2223, without allowance for names counted more than once. This total is a little less than that of the year before, but the university has felt the financial troubles of the past year and has done well to suffer no greater falling off in the enrollment.
