REGISTRATION ,
TOTALS 2,015
Final Figures May Yet Be Changed
But a New Record For Summer
Attendance Has Been Made
Two thousand and fifteen students
in the first session of the summer
school that is the record to which
the University of Nebraska now lays
claim. That is the number of stu
dents which have been counted at the
registrar's office.
Final figures for the first summer
sessfbn may change some what be
fore the end of this week. There are
still a number of students who are
strolling in to register and the final
total may mount some higher. The
difference, however, will not be great.
The. total of 2,015 students is a new
record for summer school attendance,
"not only for the first session but the
total hot weather enrollment. The
highest figure ever before accumu
lated was 1.5S9 which was recorded
for the two sessions last year. More
than 1,000 of that number were in at
tendance at, the first session last year
while the remaining 500 attended the
second half.
If the same ratio is maintained the
second session this year as was reg
istered last summer, the second part
of the summer school should see some
1,200 registered. This will bring th
total summer school attendance to
above 3,200 or more than double what
It was for both sessions last year.
