Figures based on the first day's registration at Yale University, which opened Thursday, show a loss of approximately 1300 students in the different departments, all of which, except the Medical School, suffered heavily...
These early figures show an enrolment of only 2000 men as compared with 3300 in the university last year. Although the next few days may bring the number somewhat higher, the loss will never-the-less be large. In this falling-off, the college has suffered especially, having only some 800 students as compared with 1502 last year. These are divided as follows: Senior class, 100; Junior class, 175; Sophomore class, 250; and Freshman class...
While in one sense we regret this general loss in attendance, we cannot help feeling proud in its deep significance. Out of all the statistics published there is only one item which we truly wish were different. That is the number of Freshmen entering College this year. The class of 1921 is smaller than last year's Freshman class by 145. With such men as President Wilson and Major-General Wood urging young men to return to their studies we had hoped that the class of 1921 would be the largest ever. We did not hope this so that...
...senior class now calls together 325 out of 484 juniors before the vacation. These upper classes, instead of being "shot to pieces," come together with 75 and 80 per cent. respectively of their former numbers. It is in the post-graduate work that the largest percentage of loss comes. These men are of the age and attainments to be instantly of service to their country, so that here the number has fallen from 65 last year to 39 at the moment. This number usually rises because such students do not always report at the beginning of the term. There...
...From all appearances there will be a considerable falling off in sales during the coming year and consequently a decrease in net earnings, for it is not possible to make a curtailment of expenses proportioned to the loss in sales. Interest, taxes, light, heat, 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...
