Owing to the fact that no statistics were 

 given last year for the individual faculties, 

 it is impossible to compare the gains or 

 losses, as was done for 1910 and previous 

 years, but attention will be called to impor- 

 tant changes in connection with the discus- 

 sion of the individual institutions. So far 

 as the individual faculties of the various 

 universities are concerned, Harvard with 

 2,306 men and 483 women (Radcliffe Col- 

 lege) leads in the number of college under- 

 graduates, being followed by Indiana, with 

 1,415 men and 925 women ; California, with 

 914 men and 1,425 women ; Michigan, with 

 1,550 men and 732 women; Chicago, with 

 879 men and 720 women; Nebraska with 

 645 men and 897 women; Minnesota, with 



633 men and 908 women; Wisconsin, with 

 749 men and 727 women ; Columbia, with 

 819 men and 590 women; Princeton, with 

 1,409 men, and Texas, with 773 men and 



634 women. 



In agriculture Cornell leads with 1,185 

 students, being followed by Wisconsin with 

 802, Illinois with 732, and Ohio State with 

 720. In architecture Illinois with 341 is 

 followed by Pennsylvania with 215, Cor- 

 nell with 133 and Columbia with 129. 

 Syracuse, with 175 art students, leads in 

 that field; while New York University con- 

 tinues to lead in commerce with 1,598 stu- 

 dents, being followed by Pennsylvania 

 with 636, Northwestern with 450 and Wis- 

 consin with 317. The largest dental school 

 is at Pennsylvania, where 508 students are 

 enrolled, as compared with 478 at North- 

 western, 252 at Michigan and 239 at Min- 

 nesota. Northwestern has the largest divin- 

 ity school, enrolling 222 students, as 

 against 132 at Chicago, 100 at Yale and 48 

 at Harvard; these are the only universities 

 in the list that maintain schools of theology.
