...been speculating as to the number of Harvard men engaged in the war. It is not surprising that the graduate schools have suffered the greatest decrease in attendance, since this group of students is composed entirely of men in the draft age, but a total decrease of 36 per cent. in the College is real proof of how the undergraduate is answering his country's call. The Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes with their respective losses of 50, 44, and 30 per cent. reflects nothing but credit on the spirit of willingness to serve which was manifested in the University...
Though the present enrolment of the Institute of Technology is about ten per cent smaller than a year ago, never have so many men been using the college buildings. Counting the 1670 registered as Tech. students and the many others enrolled in the various war schools, more then 3000 men are taking advantage of the Institute's opportunity...
...Institute's freshman class is larger than ever, 504 against 450 of last year, with still a considerable number who took the entrance examinations in June and have not yet registered. The sophomore class as now registered actually shows a gain of five or six per cent, being 433 against 420 who were in the class of freshmen last June.

In view, however, of the almost certain reduction in the number of students...
...insurance and many other items will be as large as ever, some of them larger. The Superintendent and the Directors, in preparing the expense budget for 1917-18 have reduced the past year's total (chiefly by reducing the number of employees) to the extent of about ten per cent. It did not appear practicable to go further without endangering the permanent interests of the business by giving inferior service to customers. But the reduction in attendance will certainly be much more than ten per cent. and the Co-operative Society will be very fortunate if its business does...
