The attendance of students at the college of engineering, which persistently decreased from 1910 to 1918, has showed an increase during 1918-14 and 1915-16, although without the addition in 1915-16 of a new group of 65 students in the department of ceramic engineering, then incladed in the college, there would have been an actual decline again. It is difficult to determine what the future will be with reference to attendance. However, it is probable that the point of mtftfr"11"1 enrollment has been reached. Attendance has decreased in other engineering schools; end at Illinois it appears that the broadening of general university work is attracting students to otherfieldswho would otherwise have entered the college. The influence of the new college of commerce and business administration is especially strong. But the demands of the engineering profession will probably reassert themselves.
