THE COLLEGE

BEFORE College opened in September, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE punched a few keys on its trusty little adding machine and estimated that Dartmouth this year would have a record undergraduate enrollment of 2,930 men. We are pleased to report that the official figure from the Registrar is 2,931.

That this total is 76 greater than last year's is accounted for mainly by the record size of the freshman class, which finally shook down to 842 men, or 71 more than matriculated in the fall of 1958. There are 722 sophomores, 624 juniors, and 674 seniors, with 59 men from the classes of '54 through '59 also enrolled as undergraduates. Seven unclassifieds and three special students bring the undergraduate total to 2,931.

Graduate enrollment of 169 increases the total of full-time students to an even 3,100, compared with 3,012 last year; and the addition of 103 part-time graduate students makes a grand total of 3,203, compared with 3,111 last year.

Tuck School holds its usual lead in associated school enrollment with 174 men, of whom 98 are first-year men, 33 second-year, and two special students. Thayer School for the first time has only a graduate enrollment, of 19 men. Seniors who would have been first-year Thayer men are now studying in the College's new Department of Engineering Science and are taught by the Thayer School faculty. Enrollment in the Tuck-Thayer program numbers eight first-year and eleven second-year men. The Medical School has 24 men in each of the first- and second-year classes, one special student, and 62 post-doctoral students, for a total of 111. Among the 41 part-time graduate students in the College, 37 are candidates for degrees.
