    Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, Registrar, has pointed out
to me that until the outbreak of the war the ratio of
men to women had for years in the University been almost
exactly two to one.   It is now down to 1.5 to 1.   He
says that it appears probable that by next fall the ratio
will be approximately 1.2 to I.   Doctor Chamberlain pro-
dicts that the enrollment next fall will probably not
exceed 2450 students.
