 nois, Northwestern, Yale, Harvard, Mich-

 Northwestern, Michigan, Harvard, Illifiois,

 Michigan, Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Colum- 

 bia, Purdue, Smith; in South Dakota: 

 Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mich- 

 igan, Illinois, Iowa; in "Wisconsin: North- 

 western, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, 

 Columbia, Harvard, Vassar. It will thus 

 be seen that Northwestern is mentioned as 

 first in no less than seven of the twelve 

 states included in this division. Of the 

 male colleges and technical schools the 

 order is Purdue, Massachusetts Institute 

 of Technology, Dartmouth, Williams, Am- 

 herst; of the girls' colleges Smith, Vassar, 

 Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, 

 the first three mentioned all having a 

 larger representation from this division 

 than either Pennsylvania or Princeton. 



In the Western division (leaving Cali- 

 fornia and Stanford out of consideration), 

 Michigan is still in the lead, with Harvard, 

 Columbia, Northwestern, Yale and Cornell, 

 each of which attracts over one hundred 

 students from this division, following. 

 Michigan's representation has grown from 

 134 to 229 since 1905 ; Harvard's from 126 

 to 186; Columbia's from 111 to 152; Yale's 

 from 78 to 130; Cornell's from 76 to 119; 

 Illinois' s from 41 to 89 ; Pennsylvania's 

 from 22 to 71; while Princeton's has 

 dropped from 41 to 31. Northwestern 

 leads in Arizona; Illinois in Idaho; Mich- 

 igan in Nevada and New Mexico ; Nebraska 

 in Wyoming. In California the order is 

 Harvard, Columbia, Michigan, Yale; in 

 Colorado: Michigan, Harvard, Cornell, 

 Yale; in Montana: Michigan, Wisconsin, 

 Northwestern, Minnesota; in Oregon: 



Michigan, Harvard, Columbia and North- 

 western and Yale; in Utah: Northwestern, 

 Cornell, Harvard, Columbia; in Washing- 

 ton: Harvard, Columbia and Michigan, 

 Yale. 



Taking only the six eastern universities 

 mentioned at the beginning of the article 

 into consideration, and counting ties in 

 fractions, we find that Harvard leads in 

 20| states of the Union, Columbia in 12f , 

 Cornell in 6^, Yale in 4|-, Pennsylvania in 

 4 and Princeton in ^. 



Cornell maintains its lead in the number 

 of students from insular and non-contigu- 

 ous territories, being followed by Cali- 

 fornia and Pennsylvania. California leads 

 in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands, Cor- 

 nell in the Philippines and Porto Eico and 

 Northwestern and Virginia in the Canal 

 Zone. 



The number of foreign students at 

 American institutions of higher learning 

 continues to show a noteworthy increase. 

 There are enrolled at the group of six 

 eastern universities mentioned at the be- 

 ginning of the article 821 foreigners, as 

 against 540 in 1905. At the twenty-one 

 universities represented in the tables for 

 1908-9 and 1910-11 there were in attend- 

 ance 1,296 foreigners in the former year 

 as against 1,536 in the latter. At the 

 twelve universities represented in the 

 tables for 1906-7 and 1910-11 there were 

 in attendance 898 students from foreign 

 countries in the former year, as against 

 1,311 in the latter. Adding the foreign 

 clientele of the colleges and technical 

 schools in the table, we find that thirty- 

 seven American institutions attracted no 

 less than 1,782 foreigners during the aca- 

 demic year 1910-11, this figure being, as 

 all the other comparisons have been, ex- 

 clusive of the summer session attendance. 

 In 1908-9 thirty-four of these institutions 

 attracted 1,467 foreigners, while the same
