...Phillips has found out that while the percentage of Harvard graduates marrying remained nearly constant at 75, the number of children born per married graduate dropped from 3.13 for the eight classes from 1853 to 1860 to 2.06 for the ten classes from 1881 to 1890. The percent of childless marriages rose from 7.8 in the first group to 23.4 in the last.

The total active registration was 539 for 1915, and 402 for 1914; the percent, unaided is thus 10.7 for the former, and 20.8 for the latter. Eight men on probation this year is a record, three less than in 1914. The total amount earned up to and through December 31 was $16,087.27, almost double the $8,526.70 earned last year...
...present plan of group specialization was adopted. Forty-five percent. of the class of 1914 chose Group III. This was surprising. But the reason for the choice is evident. The breadth of the field is such that six different courses in Group III, ranging possibly from sociology to statistics and agriculture; are extremely easy to find. Haphazard election of courses was the rule. No concentration whatever resulted. In no other field was it possible, while fulfilling requirements, to evade the purpose of the group system so widely...
