expected may increase before founder's day nra influenced registration is opinion of dean mcconn with 1,275 students enrolled up to 5 p.m yesterday lehigh university sems definitely to be shaking off the effects of the late depression comparison of the present enroll ment figures and those of recent years show a tendency towards sta bilization that was unforseen even by members of the administration as is disclosed by statistics from the registrar's office 121 less stu dents registered for the first sem ester of the past school year than for the semester beginning in sep tember 1931 this figure represents the largest enrollment fall-off in the years since the stock market crash in 1929 in contrast the present registra tion is only 71 less than that for the first semester of 1932 this would seem to indicate that enroll ment will soon reach a point of equilibrium from which it may be expected to rise again mcconn notes balance commenting on the rapidity with which enrollment is reaching a bal ance dean mcconn states the ac tion of the roosevelt administration probably has a significant bearing upon it i believe the totally unexpected development here is at least an in direct result of the national recov ery act he says he admits that in may we estimated a drop of 200 in the university registration of last week university registration the rec ords show
