Alliance Herald. Thero continues to be a significant growth in attendance of students at the University of Nebraska. As tho Journal is being prepared for tho press tho actual registration for tho fall semester Is 4,702. This includes only students of collego grade, those in actual attendance of classes in the various colleges of tho university. It does not take count of tho registra tion in the various schools and ox tension departments of tho university nor the presons enrolled for graduate work. Tho present attendnnco Is near 4C0 in excess of that a year ago, a con dition somewhat contrary to tho gen eral expectation of tho university authorities and In a way surprising in face of rather unusual business con ditions. A number of students havo feturnod to finish professional cours es begun before or during tho war, taking advantago of the quiet in their particular lino to complete their uni versity work. Thero is also a signifi cant sontimont among many who have roturnou for Buch work that a uni versity education ia a real assot, BDeaklnK broadly, when it comes to finding renumoratlvo employment. All other things equal tho old adage "tho survival of tho fittest" today means tho survival of tho college-educated persons In tho general reduction of forces throuKhout tho industrial world.
