The growth in number of foreign students at the University has been remarkable. Since the colleges of the United States have generally strengthened some one department so that they have an international reputation for this specific branch, it would not be surprising to find foreign students flocking to the colleges which specialize in the field of learning in which they are interested. In other words, this age of specialization has affected college curriculums and college enrolments.

At the University, however, are students from all parts of the world, and in all departments. During the last four years the total enrolment of foreign students has been as follows: 1912-13,  134 1913-14,  148 1914-15,  149 1915-16,  185

These students have been studying in the various departments, as the following table shows: College,  156 Graduate School of Arts and Sciences,  177 Graduate School of Business Administration,  25 Engineering and Mining,  62 Divinity,  48 Law,  36 Medical,  40 Dental,  67

It is but natural that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences should have the most, but the enrolment in the College is remarkable. That 7 per cent. of the students in the College this year should come from foreign countries is very significant.

Canada leads in the number of foreign men in the University, but her proximity accounts for that. Second to her, and really first of countries of the other hemisphere, is China, whose large number indicates the seriousness with which that country is pursuing education. The enrolment of the nations having the largest number of students is given below: South Africa,  19 Canada,  198 China,  97 England,  38 Germany,  27 India,  21 Japan,  47 Turkey,  28
