Thus it is evident that the comparable figure of $288.00 per full- time equivalent registration is extremely low compared even with many of the academic colleges where extensive education is possible, and where lecturers have opportunity to address classes of several hundred in such general fields as English, economics, political science, history and mathematics. III. ENROLLMENT Student enrollment is not always a guage of the educational efficiency of an institution. Popularity as revealed in number of undergraduates regis- tered may be due to favorable economic conditions, a winning football team, or an easy method of making up college entrance requirements. The growth in enrollment at California Polytechnic School which has been steady and even spectacular since the reorganization of the institution in 1935, apparently cannot be attributed to any of those causes except possibly favorable economic conditions; especially not to its "make-up" work, for the level of instruction and requirements for enrollnmnt have been con- sistently raised in order to offer crowded facilities to those most likely to profit by them; and no "make-up" work is offered. During the last calendar year, the rate of growth and the actual number of new students, was the greatest in the four-year period. The previous annual report was prepared prior to registration for the winter quarter; the current report was prepared after registration for the winter quarter. Since some 58 new students were enrolled during the first week in January, 1938, the difference shows an actual growth during the year of approximately 100 students.
