We Are The People

Although no official statement as to the registration could be obtained at the University yesterday, everything points to a large attendance and a possible increase over last year. There is certainly an increase in the law department, but this may be offset by losses in the medical school. It is believed that the literary department will, at least, hold its own. THE INLANDER.

There is some quiet protest going on among the students against the general rise in boarding rates, but whether any vigorous action will be taken, as at Yale, remains to be seen. Probably there will not be, for there is some difference aetween $0 and $8 a week, which is charged at Yale, and the $3 which Ann Arbor students are asked to pay.
