From Michigan Alone When Changes Are Made

Prof. Fall's Prediction

Of Great Increase in Attendance at Michigan University in the Future

When Michigan alone sends 5,000 students to the University of Michigan, what an institution it will be. Hon. Delos Fall, state superintendent of public instruction, in his address before the State Teachers' association in Saginaw yesterday, declared that four years of high school education should be sufficient to give every graduate free admission to the colleges. He prophesied that with such a condition of affairs, the State University would enroll 5,000 pupils from this state alone.

When Michigan sends 5,000 students to the University, it would have 6,600 students even if there were no increase in students from the outside states. If they correspondingly increased the attendance would jump to 9,000. How quickly will Prof. Fall's prophecy come true?
