REGISTRATION FIGURES

At the time of the going to press of this issue of the MAGAZINE, the registration of the College for the present year stands as follows:

Graduate Students 1 Seniors 128 Juniors 180 Sophomores 280 Freshmen 412 Medical School 31 Thayer School 22 Tuck School 29 Total, deducting for names repeated 1020

Comment on these figures is hardly necessary. The size of the College is much greater than anyone dared hope during the early summer months, being almost exactly two-thirds the size of the College at a corresponding time last year. The freshman class last year numbered 463; this year's class is but fifty short of that.

Even more interesting than these figures are those which show the distribution of the entering class. More states than ever before—thirty-three states, the District of Columbia, and Porto Rico—are represented,—and this in a war year! Two hundred and five of the 412 men come from outside New England. Is it not reasonable to suppose that the class of 1921 will be the last class to enter Dartmouth containing more New Englanders than men from beyond the confines of the six immediate states ? Particularly noticeable is the increase from Minnesota, Missouri, and some of the far western states.

The entire distribution by states is as follows:

Massachusetts 113 South Dakota 3 New York 69 Colorado 3 New Hampshire 45 Texas 2 New Jersey 23 Montana 2 Connecticut 18 California 2 Vermont 16 Wisconsin 2 Illinois 16 North Dakota 1 Pennsylvania 15 Oklahoma 1 Ohio 12 Kentucky 1 Maine 12 Kansas 1 Minnesota 12 Tennessee 1 Missouri 10 Washington 1 Michigan 8 Maryland 1 Indiana 5 Arizona 1 Iowa 4 Rhode Island 1 Utah 3 West Virginia 1 Dist. of Columbia 3 Porto Rico 1 Nebraska 3
