There are at the present time representatives from 144 colleges and universities in the Harvard Law School; with the exception of five special students and 21 University "Seniors" in the first year class, all the men registered are college graduates.
The year's registration for the whole school is 730, which is well up to the average mark of the last decade, although considerably below the greatest figure of 808 in 1911-12. The first-year class numbers 288; there are 197 in the second-year class, and 167 in the graduating class. The resident graduates, studying for the advanced degree of doctor of jurisprudence, number 5; and there are 68 unclassified students and 5 specials.
Taking the first-year class as representative of the whole school, it appears that only 65 men, or 23 per cent. are from Massachusetts; a proportion which is considerably below that of the University as a whole, in which nearly half the membership is from this state. From New England outside of Massachusetts are 29 men, or 10 per cent. of the class. The balance are from other states of the Union, numbering 194 men, or 67 per cent. of the first-year class.
The University, as usual, has the largest representation; 80 of its graduates are in the first-year class, which represents 88 different institutions in its membership. Yale sent 24 men this year and Princeton 21. The delegations from other colleges are much smaller, those institutions which have 5 or more in the entering class being Williams, with 9; Dartmouth, with 8; University of Wisconsin, with 7; University of Missouri, with 6; and the University of Michigan, with 5.
