The Law School seems to have led the rest of the University with over two-thirds of its graduates already in naval or military service. New York University and the Col lege of the City of New York have not been outdone by their elder sis ter. At the former Institution diplo mas were awarded to 900 absentees last week, most of whom had gone to the colors. Some western colleges report them selves stripped of students of military age. Many colleges are offering courses in special phases of military and naval service, as for example one at Dartmouth on military stores keeping in preparation for quarter master's or ordinance department work. Columbia plans courses on trench warfare, military map making and electric naval control. The Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology is pressing instruction in shipbuilding1. Princeton and many other colleges have schools of aviation. Military drill is practically universal in the universities and colleges of the na tion. University base hospitals are going to France almost weekly. The government has not yet provided enough aviation schools to take care of one-tenth of the collegians who seek enrollment in that service. As a result they are getting their insfn.c- tion at tfieir own expense. They are flocking for enlistment in the ra tional Guard, the regular Army and the Navy. At the University of Minnesota 110 students have enlisted in the Marine Corps. At rhe Uni versity of Washington 415 one-fifth of the total student body are now enrolled in military and naval service. At the University of Mi.-hgan two divisions of the Naval Miiitia, 175 students in all, are now in active ser vice. Yale has 405 students at the of ficers' training camps. Princeton has more than 100 at the naval training school at Newport, and leu students have commissions in the marine corps. Uorneii is drilling four ba'alior.s for the officers' reserve corps.
