To learn the effect of the world war upon the universities and colleges of this country, the New York World sent to a number of these institutions a questionaire composed of seven queries. All of these were concerned with the effect of the war and involved such questions as comparative registration, changes in policy and curricula, military training, and so forth.
In the answers to these questions, it developed that a large number of the pre-war students who served in the army or navy have returned to complete their course. In most cases, also, the colleges and universities showed an increased registration over the pre-war years.
Military training in the majority of cases is being continued although on a reduced scale. The study of German apparently has fallen off greatly but in most instances this is regarded as merely a temporary lapse. There have been some changes in the curricula but none that can be called radical.
