Graduate School Growing.
The graduate catalogue, which will
appear in a few days, shows marked
increase in this Department of the Uni-
versity. The enrollment last year at
this time was 254 and is now 28s, an in-
crease of 31. This number will also
be slightly increased, as a number of
students ustially come too late for the
first enrollment. 3
One hundred and sixty-one of the
students have come directly from Yale
and fifteen have received regrees from
both Yale and some other University.
The other students represent the fol-
lowing universities and colleges: Smith
College, 8; Wellesley College, 6; The
Doshisha, Japan, 6; Vassar College, 5;
Harvard, 4; Wesleyan University, 4;
Amherst, 4; University of Nebraska, 3;
Colby, 3; Bethany College, 3; Indiana
University, 3; Cornell, 3; scattering,
2
The growth of the Graduate School
during the last few years. has been
remarkable. In 1894 the students num-
bered 138; 176 in 1895; 227 in 18096; 254
in 1897, and 285 in 1808. This shows
that the enrollment has been more than
doubled in four years.

Class Book Questions.
The statistical questions for the Class
Book of Ninety-Nine were distributed
to the members of the Senior class last
week. In general they are similar to
those of last year, except that a great
many of the personal questions have
been omitted, while the following ones
have been added: “Whom do you favor
as the next President of Yale Univer-
sity?” and, “Do you advocate the idea of
head coaches and professional trainers?”
The question last year—‘‘Does Dwight
Hall benefit or injure Yale student
life’ —which caused so much discussion,
has been changed so as to read: “Should
Dwight Hall methods be revised?”
The editors in charge are H. A.
Callahan and A. B. Marvin.
