each case, Michiga/ii is seen to have the

 Wisconsin, Yale, Harvard and Cornell, 

 each of which has over one hundred stu-

 in Indiana, followed by Illinois, Columbia, 

 Harvard, Cornell. In Iowa the order is 

 Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Harvard, 

 Yale; in Kansas — Michigan, Missoicri, Illi- 

 nois, Columbia, Harvard; in Michigan — 

 Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Vassar, Cor- 

 nell and Illinois and Purdue; in Min-

 Wisconsin, Michigan; in Missouri— Mtc/ii- 

 gan, Yale, Harvard, Illinois, Columbia; in 

 'Nebvaska— Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin 

 and Wellesley, Yale, Columbia; in North 

 Dakota — Wisconsin, Columbia, Michigan; 

 in Ohio— Michigan, Yale, Cornell, Har- 

 vard, Purdue, Columbia; in South Dakota 

 — Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois; and in 

 y^iseonsin— Illinois, Michigan, Columbia, 

 Yassar, Cornell, Harvard. Excluding in 

 each case the respective state university, 

 the state of Illinois is represented by 1,537 

 students at the institutions mentioned in 

 the list, Ohio by 1,493, Michigan by 351, 

 and Wisconsin by 348, that is, 58 per cent, 

 of the state of Ohio's representatives at all 

 of the institutions included in the table are 

 enrolled at the state university, while the 

 percentage for Illinois is 68 per cent., for 

 Michigan 88 per cent., and for Wisconsin 

 89 per cent. 



In the western division (leaving Cali- 

 fornia out of consideration) Michigan con- 

 tinues in the lead, with Harvard, Columbia 

 and Yale, each of which attracts over one 

 hundred students from this section, follow- 

 ing; then come Cornell, Wisconsin, Welles- 

 ley, Illinois and M. I. T. and Smith, Mis- 

 souri, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Vassar, 

 Purdue, Dartmouth, the remaining institu- 

 tions drawing only a few students from the 

 far western states. Michigan's representa- 

 tion has gTOwn from 134 to 203 in three 



years ; Harvard's from 126 to 138 ; Colum- 

 bia's from 111 to 121; Yale's from 78 to 

 115; Cornell's from 76 to 91; Illinois' 

 from 41 to 48; Pennsylvania's from 22 to 

 39, while Princeton's has dropped from 41 

 to 29. Michigan leads in Arizona, Idaho 

 and Wyoming; in California (leaving the 

 state university out of consideration) 

 Harvard continues to lead, with Columbia, 

 Yale and Michigan following; in Colorado 

 the order is Michigan, Yale, Harvard, Cor- 

 nell; in Montana — Michigan, Columbia, 

 Wisconsin; California leads in Nevada, the 

 state which has the smallest total repre- 

 sentation of any of the states; Missouri 

 leads in New Mexico ; in Oregon the order 

 is California, Michigan, Cornell; in Utah — 

 Michigan and Pennsylvania, Cornell, Co- 

 lumbia, and in Washington — Michigan, Co- 

 lumbia, Yale. Of the states in the western 

 division Colorado and California continue 

 to send by far the largest delegations to 

 the eastern institutions in the list. 



Cornell continues to lead in the number 

 of students from the insular possessions, 

 followed by Illinois. There were last year 

 only seven representatives from Alaska at 

 the institutions mentioned in the table. 

 California leads in Hawaii, Illinois in the 

 Philippines, and Cornell in Porto Rieo. 

 Taking only the institutions included in the 

 tables both this year and last year, there 

 has been an increase of one student from 

 Hawaii, of fourteen from the Philippines 

 and of five from Porto Rico. 



Taking 'only the six eastern universities, 

 the table shows that Columbia leads or is 

 tied for first place in seventeen states and 

 territories, Yale in fourteen. Harvard in 

 twelve, Cornell in ten, Pennsylvania in 

 four, and Princeton in none, as follows: 

 Columbia— 'N&w Jersey, New York, 

 Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, 

 Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Kansas,
