It will be noted that both these groups show a falling off of about 10 percent as compared with last summer; but the unsettled effect thus evidenced is relatively so small that one is inclined to expect at least as large an enrollment of upper-class women and of graduate students in the fall as in 1916. The figures for November 1, 1916, w e r e : Upper-class women 686 Graduate students 418 T h e total estimated registration at Urbana, then, for the fall semester of 1917 would be 4840 as compared with 5319 for November 1, 1916: Nov. 1, 1916 Est., 1917 Freshmen 2079 1836 Upper-class men 2136 1900 Upper-class women 686 686 Graduate students 418 418 5319 4840 You will note that according to this figuring our enrollment for next fall will show a decrease of only about ten percent below that of 1916.
