300 Teachers Expected For Conclave
FIGURES SHOW 1,665
STUDENTS ENROLLED
SUMMER
SESSION
1934 Registration Is Only
77 Below That of
Last Year.
Final registration figures re
leased Monday "by the university
registrar's office show 1,665 stu
dents enrolled in the 1934 summer
session as compared with an en
rollment of 1,742 students in the
1933 session, a drop of 77. Those
Included in the final figures are
both graduate and undergraduate
enrollments, in addition to the en
gineer's summer camp.
Predictions made at the begin
ning of the term by Dr. R. D.
Moritz, director of the summer ses
sion, who felt that there would be
little, if any, decrease in registra
tion this summer, were borne out
by the figures released Monday.
There was a feeling, however,
before the opening of school that
enrollment this summer might be
less due to drouth conditions and
extremely warm weather, but un
official first day registration fig
ures dispelled all fears.
Altho no exact figures as to
what proportion of the total degis
tration was in the graduate col
lege, it was felt that the raise in
standards for secondary schools
recently voted by the North Cen
tral association of Colleges and
Seconday Schools might have in
creased enrollment in that college
The final figures were held up
because of the fact that graduate
students were given until June 16
to finish registration and that
many undergraduates came in by
paying a late registration fee. For
undergraduates an additional fee
of (3 was charged to those who
enrolled after the regular registra
tion noriod and a fee of SI for each
additional week after classes start
ed. Those registering after June 14
were allowed to do so only after
receiving written permission from
instructors - and the summer ses
sion director, and no registrations
for credit were accepted after
June 22.
