...University Catalogue for 1911-12 shows a total enrollment this year of 5884, an increase of 94 over last year's figures. The College shows a gain of 45 and the professional schools a gain of 37; the Dental School registering 38 more members than last year and the Law School 6 more, while the Divinity School and the Medical School show losses of 4 and 6 respectively. The only notice able decrease in this year's registration is in the Summer Schools in which there were 1065 this year as compared to 1106 in 1910-11, a loss...
...total increase in the entire University including Faculty and students is 94. The number of men in the College has increased 45 while the Graduate Schools under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences remain at about their figure of last year.

...intercollegiate cup, presented to the league by E. A. Caswell, will be held one year by the winning team, but in order to gain permanent possession of it, a team must win it for ten successive years. Of the nineteen tournaments held thus far, Harvard has won nine and tied one, Columbia has won seven, Yale has won one and tied one, and Princeton has won one. Last year Columbia was victorious, Harvard finishing third...
