...distinct with as much time devoted to the former as is now given to both. The change here is important. For this year the military schedule has seemed somewhat haphazard. In 1918-19, however, the time to be given to recitations, reading, lectures, and similar exercises will be constant throughout the year...

In fact, during the first three years of the Civil War the number of undergraduates remained practically constant, while this year the College has lost more than 900 men, a decrease of more than one-third as compared to last year's registration...
