Lemon, dean of ad ministration and : registrar. Dean Lemon predicts: the beginnings of an upswing next' fall which will carry to new record enrollments limited only by capacity following the close of the war. . - t Incomplete figures for the pres ent term were 1558,-exclusive of military, before jthe end of the first week, of which 1309 were women. Previous low" points in modern times were spring, term of 1919 with 1441 of which only 605 were women. The depression and reor ganization slump In the spring of 1934 dropped enrollment to 1870 of which only 689 were 'women. High points came in 1928-29 with a full year total of 3873' and in 194041 with 5117o r ' -i Dean Lemon expects a gradual upturn next fall regardless of war conditions because enrollment of women shows no sign of slacken ing, numbers of, civilian men are now at a minimum, and dis charged service men are already appearing. f Many factors will contribute to a rush to the colleges when de mobilization begins in earnest, says Dean Lemon, which could easily carry Oregon State enroll ment beyond 7000 if facilities are available. Highest previous single term enrollment was 4759 the fall of 1940, when both classroom and living facilities were overtaxed.
