It is a well-known fact that, while we have a considerable body of literature on public-school administration, information on collegiate administration is meager. This is especially true concerning the problems of the registration office. In collecting the data used for this report, the institutions holding membership in the Association of Collegiate Registrars were requested in October, 1922, to send their registration forms, together with their methods of procedure, to the writer. The purpose of this article is to study one phase of the registrar's work--that of the registration of the student. Contents include: (1) Inefficient methods still used; (2) Points of agreement among registrars; (3) Methods most commonly used; (4) Analysis of typical plans; (5) Some helpful suggestions; (6) Recommended registration plan.
