Bowman, the present chancellor, who succeeded Dr. Mc- Cormick in 1921. Within the past year more than 1000 students have received their degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. The faculty numbers approximately 800 members. The approximate enrollment in all schools of the University for the year 1926-27 was 10,000. Of these 5200 were regularly classified students. Enrolled in the extension division were over 2000, bringing the total enrollment to about 12,000.
