The total number of students from for- 

 eign countries in attendance at the institu- 

 tions represented in the accompanying 

 table as well as in that of last year has 

 grown from 946 to 1088, an increase of no 

 less than 15 per cent., to which the various 

 continents contributed as follows: North 

 America's representation has grown from 

 314 to 348; South America's from 103 to 

 122; Europe's from 200 to 219; Asia's 

 from 272 to 332, and Australasia's from 

 45 to 58, while Africa's has dropped from 

 12 to 9. Asia exhibits the largest increase, 

 as it did last year. 



Pennsylvania continues to have- the 

 largest foreign clientele, followed by Co- 

 Iwmhia, Cornell and Harvard, each of 

 which attracts over one hundred foreigners. 

 Of the western institutions Michigan is still 

 in the lead, followed by California, Ohio 

 State, Wisconsin, Ulinois and Missouri. 

 Virginia, the New England colleges for 

 men, and the colleges for women attract 

 only a few students resident in foreign 

 countries, while M. I. T., Lehigh and Pur- 

 due, especially the first, all have a fair 

 representation. 



Examining the foreign delegations of the 

 different institutions by continents, we note 

 that the order in North America is Har- 

 vard, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell, 

 Michigan, M. I. T., Yale; in South Amer- 

 ica — Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columiia and 



Ohio, M. I. T.; in 'Envo'pe— Pennsylvania, 

 Columbia, Harvard, Cornell, M. I. T. and 

 Yale, Michigan; in Asia — Columbia, Cor- 

 nell, Yale, Harvard, California, Pennsyl- 

 vania; in Africa If. I. T. leads, while in 

 Australasia Pennsylvania continues to be 

 the only institution with a good representa- 

 tion. Of the countries that send at least 

 eight students to any one institution Har- 

 vard leads in Canada; Pennsylvania in 

 Central America, Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, 

 Great Britain and Ireland, Holland, Au- 

 stralia and New Zealand; Missouri in 

 Mexico; Cornell in the Argentine Republic 

 and China; Columbia in Germany, Russia 

 and Japan; California in India. 



Taking the representation of foreigners 

 at all of the institutions mentioned in the 

 list, Ave find that the largest delegations are 

 sent by the following countries: Canada, 

 210 ; Japan, 142 ; China, 139 ; Mexico, 90 ; 

 Cuba, 67; Great Britain and Ireland, 60; 

 Argentine Republic, 56 ; and India 54. As 

 for individual countries in America, the 

 order for Canada is Harvard, Columbia, 

 Michigan, Yale, Pennsylvania; Pennsyl- 

 vania continues to have the best Central 

 American representation, and also leads in 

 Cuba, with Cornell second and Columbia 

 third; Missouri leads in Mexico, with M. 

 I. T. second, and Purdue in the West 

 Indies, although the representation from 

 these islands is very small. Of the South 

 American countries the Argentine Re- 

 public sends the largest delegation, fol- 

 lowed by Brazil. 



In the European countries that send 

 eight or more students to any one institu- 

 tion the order is as follows: Germany— 

 Columbia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin; 

 Great Britain and IvA&ndi— Pennsylvania, 

 Harvard, Columbia; HoWanA— Pennsyl- 

 vania, Michigan; 'Ru%s\&— Columbia, Penn- 

 sylvania, Ohio State. England sends the 

 largest number, namely 60, followed by 

 Russia with 40 and Germany with 32. Of
