HARVARD LEADS IN NUMBER ENROLLED FOR PLATTSBURG

Business and Professional Men Form Majority in Total of 9,000 Now Volunteered.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University still leads in the enrollment for military training at Plattsburg, in the graduate camps as well as the undergraduate. Three hundred and sixty-four members of the University have signed up at the Regimental office and 687 alumni have enlisted. Yale is next, with 103 undergraduates and 394 alumni. Nearly one-fifth of the students at Williams are going.

Contrary to the general notion, fewer than half of the 9,000 already enlisted are college men. Business and professional men from every walk of life are enrolled. Northern New England has furnished 2,000, 1,600 of whom come from Greater Boston. The first camp will start in less than two weeks. Enrollments from New England colleges to May 15 follow:   Stdts.  Alumni.  Total. Harvard,  364  687  874 Yale,  103  394  497 Williams,  61  98  159 M. I. T.,  19  130  149 Dartmouth,  23  79  102 Amherst,  15  77  92 Brown,  19  48  67 Worcester Polytech.  7  28  35 Boston University,  1  34  35 Wesleyan,  3  27  30

The directors of the Boston Chamber of Commerce placed their approval on the Plattsburg idea during the past week when they voted to issue a letter urging employers to do all that they find practicable to encourage the enlistment of men in their employment in the camps, which, they say, deserve the earnest support of all who desire more adequate national defence.
