FIGURES SHOW MORE HARVARD THAN PRINCETON MEN IN LAW

Princeton Has More Men Comparatively in Business

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A comparison of figures published at Princeton at the end of last week and tabulations made available yesterday at Harvard shows an even greater group of business alumni for Princeton than for Harvard.

Of Princeton men graduating since 1900, 3,030 men are in business and 1,025 men practicing law. From a recent survey of the occupations engaged in by members of four Harvard classes, 1896, '97, '98, and 1909, business is shown to have claimed 377 graduates to 355 who followed the law.

The Princeton figures show a complete abandonment of the original purpose of the college, "to train men for the Presbyterian ministry." In the last 24 years, 210 men entered the ministry.

The Harvard figures, covering a group of 14 graduating classes, show a gradual drift toward manufacturing without any consequent loss to law or the professions. Moreover, a greater number of men are still graduated, about 95 a year, to law, than to any other profession.
