Course Draws

With 1,005 students enrolled for
the second term when the regular
registration period closed Monday
afternoon, it is considered highly
likely by the Registrar's office that
the
second semester high
will be shattered when signing for
the short courses begins
The record final term enrollment
was set in 1935 when 1,034 students
signed.
This Included the short
courses. This Summer's final semester enrollment of 1,005 without
the short courses makes the breaking of the record highly probable.
Because of the registration system
used by the University it is impossible to determine how many of the
1935 students signed for the short
courses
Registration for the short courses
will be held on August 4. The
courses, principally In the College
of Agriculture, will last for two and
one half weeks.
Enrollment for the first term of
the summer session reached a
total of 1,797, not Including the short courses. The 1,797
enrollment broke by 75 the record
set In 1935 when 1,722 students regis
tered for the first term
High enrollments of the two sum
mer semesters lead the Registrar's
office to believe it probable th
a
new all-tihigh will be set when
students sign for the regular winter term in September. A record
was set last September when 3,422
students registered for the first
term of the
school year.
This number surpassed by 190 the
previous
high of 3,232 set
in 1931.
Dr. Jesse Adams, director of the
Summer Session, expressed him
