Falling Population Curve Unseen, Says Gummere

The effects of the decreasing population curve of Harvard enrollment cannot be determined as yet," declared Dr. Richard M. Gummere, Chairman of the Committee on Admissions, concerning a magazine article by Stuart Chase on the declining birth rate.

"So far it definitely has not cut down the number of applicants, since 100 more men tried for entrance this year than last," Dr. Gummere continued. This was the largest number in Crimson history.

Another factor which must be considered, according to Gummere, is the increasing demand for education, both cultural and vocational, among American students. In this way, even, if the total number decreases the percentage wasting training is rising and will counteract the failing total.
