The number of natnes on the steward's books Tuesday was as follows: Literary, 1212; law, 615; medical, 375; dental, 188) pharmacy, 83; homoeo pathic, 78; total, 2553. Upon footing up these flgures, a representative of The Register asked Mr. Wade whether he thought ttie attendance would reach 2,700. "No," he answered,'-' ''I do not; there wül probably be 140 more entries, but you must remember that every year our losses amount to75or80. Wearegoingtohave between 2,620 and 2,640 students this year. Mark my words, and see if I do not strike it correctly." In view of these estimates, which are given by the bestofauthority, it would appear that the Sunday Free Press was wildly extravagant in placing the figure at 2,800. Even with 2,620, the University of Michigan would pass Harvard and exceed its own number last year by 200. TIIREE TYPES. Speaking of the cosmopolitan character of Ann Arbor, Ham, Shem and Ja. phet were seen to meet on a certain street córner here a day or two ago. Ham was a young colored man from Chicago, last year chosen orator of the class of '94, Shem wís a pretty little Hebrew "co-ed" of '95, and Japhet a post-graduate "Jap" in the law department. Here were represented, by students in the University of Michiean, the three great races of the world - Caucasian, Mongolian and Ethiopian. The "Jap"' and the "shade" were facing each other, while the little .lewess met them al right angles. The negro drew back with the inatinctive politeness of his race, and the Jap, in dandifled attire, balancing himself on his diminutive patent leathers, modestly cast down his eyes as the fair visión flitted by. The whole scène might have stood for a monograph on "The Influenee of Modern Education."- Detroit News. ARODKD THE CAMPUS. The Beta Thetes entertained on Friday evening.
