Nevada Man Needed

BY NOT HAVING a single student from Nevada this year, Dartmouth College just misses having perfect national representation in its student body of 2400 men. Even without Nevada, however, the college may have the most widely distributed undergraduate community in the country. Representation includes 47 states, the District of Columbia, the U. S. territories of Panama, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, and eleven foreign lands, including Australia, Canada, England, Japan, China, Cuba, Germany, Brazil, Guatemala, Italy and Syria.

As part of the selective process of admission which it inaugurated as far back as 1921, Dartmouth makes a definite policy of giving the student body as wide a geographic spread as possible. This selective process also aims at student representation from all economic levels, and at an even distribution between private and public secondary schools.

Among the states, New York leads with 517 men at Dartmouth this year. Massachusetts follows with 455, New Jersey with 224, Connecticut with 172, and New Hampshire with 149. The next five states in order are Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan. Although Dartmouth is a New England college, approximately 60% of its student body comes from outside the six New England states.
