Enrollment Drops As 4,426 Register

Four thousand four hundred and twenty-six students have registered so far for the spring term, Registrar Sargent Kennedy '28 said last night. This leaves 29 unaccounted for--or a total of $290 in late registration fines. This is a considerable improvement over last spring when 4,492 filed through Memorial Hall and 94 were missing.

The final official enrollment count won't be released until the middle of March. Whether or not more student connections will then be severed is "subject to midterm grades," Kennedy explained. During the fall term 37 men dropped out.

This is the smallest registration since the war--over 70 less than last fall's 4,498 men--but is still in excess of the 4,300 undergraduates Provost Buck described in 1950 as "the normal post-war student complement."
