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.

Facilities are pro- vided for 3,500 students. Instruction is offered, for the most part, by faculty members who are teaching on the campus. Dr. Vincent W. Lanfear, formerly associate professor of Finance at the University, is the director of the Downtown Division. Heretofore the evening division had been a part of the Schoo! of Business Administration. “The purpose of the new unit,” Chancellor Bowman says, “is simply to carry on downtown the regular work done on the campus in the College of Liberal Arts and in the Schools of Business Administration, Engineering and Mines, and Education.
