UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE GOES ON SALE TODAY

The University Catalogue for 1915-16 will go on sale at the Cambridge bookstores this afternoon. The price will be 50 cents a copy.

The new catalogue covers over 1000 pages, making a new record both in size and completeness, and a gain of 68 pages over last year. This increase is due not to any expanding in form of matter previously included, but to the addition of several new features.

First comes a description of the new plan of conducting entrance exams and the new requirements for admission. Much attention is given to the combination with the University of Technology. The terms of the agreement are printed and the names of Technology professors giving courses, which are open to members of the University, are included. The names of M. I. T. students, taking courses in the University, under the rules for the combined degree, are printed both in the general University directory and again under a separate head among the class lists. A full account of the Technology courses open to students of the University is given. The Bussey Institution, which became the School of Applied Biology a year age has been assigned a regular place with faculty and courses of study outlined; and a more complete account is gives concerning the School of Tropical Medicine of the Medical School.

The registration figures for the University show a total of 6306, a gain of 607 over a year ago, though this is it a large measure due to the addition of the 422 Technology students, taking courses in the University. There are 80 professors and instructors, 33 more than last year. The total number of foreign students shows an increase from 145 to 185, but the representation of England France and Germany has fallen off. The number of books and pamphlets in the University Library is 1.888.542, $7.455 more than in 1914. Of these, 1.113672 are housed in the Widener Library and the remainder in the 38 Departmental Libraries
