Ohio State (503), Chicago (483), and Mich- 

 igan (388). Last year there were only five 

 institutions that showed a gain of over 300 

 students, namely, Columbia, California, 

 New York University, Texas and Harvard. 

 Omitting the summer session attendance, 

 the largest gains this year have been made 

 by Illinois (887), New York University 

 (772), California (640), Pennsylvania 

 (571), Iowa (538), Wisconsin (493), Ohio 

 State (434), Michigan (381), Chicago 

 (353), Syracuse (305), Washington Uni- 

 versity (267), and Columbia (255). It 

 will thus be seen that this year twelve in- 

 stitutions exhibited an increase of over 200 

 students in the fall attendance, as against 

 eight in 1912 and four in 1911. Of these 

 institutions eight are in the west and four 

 in the east. 



According to the figures for 1913, the 

 thirty institutions, inclusive of the summer 

 session rank as follows: Columbia (9,929), 

 California (7,071), Chicago (6,834), Mich- 

 igan (6,008), Pennsylvania (5,968), Wis- 

 consin (5,890), Harvard (5,627), Cornell 

 (5,612), New York University (5,508), Il- 

 linois (5,259), Ohio State (4,111), Minne-

 cuse (3,845), Yale (3,263), Missouri 

 (3,135), Texas (3,106), Nebraska (2,850), 

 Kansas (2,610), Iowa (2,542), Tulane 

 (2,298), Indiana (2,271), Pittsburgh 

 (1,906), Cincinnati (1,871), Stanford 

 (1,756), Princeton (1,599), Western Re- 

 serve (1,370), Johns Hopkins (1,311), 

 Washington University (1,225), and Vir- 

 ginia (885), whereas last year the order 

 was Columbia, California, Chicago, Har- 

 vard, Michigan, Cornell, Wisconsin, 

 Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New York Uni- 

 versity, Illinois, Northwestern, Ohio State, 

 Syracuse, Yale, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska, 

 Kansas, Tulane, Iowa, Cincinnati, Pitts- 

 burgh, Stanford, Princeton, Western Re- 

 serve, Washington University, Johns Hop- 



kins, Virginia. If the summer-session en- 

 rollment be omitted, the universities in the 

 table rank in size as follows: Columbia 

 (6,403), Pennsylvania (5,305), Michigan 

 (5,304), California (5,225), Harvard 

 (4,922), Illinois (4,835) and New York 

 University (4,835), Cornell (4,760), Wis- 

 consin (4,450), Northwestern (3,776), Chi- 

 cago (3,719), Ohio State (3,708), Syracuse 

 (3,699), Minnesota (3,616), Yale (3,263), 

 Jlissouri (2,547), Nebraska (2,482), Texas 

 (2,373), Kansas (2,308), Iowa (2,294), 

 Pittsburgh (1,906), Cincinnati (1,871), 

 Stanford (1,743), Princeton (1,599), Indi- 

 ana (1,417), Western Reserve (1,370), Tu- 

 lane (1,244), Washington University 

 (1,225), Johns Hopkins (1,012) and Vir- 

 ginia (885), whereas last year the order 

 was: Columbia, Michigan, Harvard, Cor- 

 nell, California, Pennsylvania, New York 

 University, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwest- 

 ern, Minnesota, Syracuse, Chicago, Ohio 

 State, Yale, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Kan- 

 sas, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Iowa, Stanford, 

 Princeton, Western Reserve, Tulane, Wash- 

 ington University, Virginia, and Johns 

 Hopkins. 



Including the summer-session attendance 

 the largest gains in the decade from 1903 

 to 1913 were made by Columbia (5,372), 

 California (3,594), New York University 

 (3,331), Pennsylvania (3,324), Chicago 

 (2,688), Wisconsin (2,669), Ohio State 

 (2,423), Cornell (2,174), Michigan (2,082) 

 and Illinois (2,020). 



So far as the individual faculties of the 

 various universities are concerned. Har- 

 vard with 2,350 men and 564 women (Rad- 

 cliffe College) leads in the number of col- 

 lege undergraduates, being followed by 

 California, with 1,112 men and 1,626 wo- 

 men; Michigan, with 1,736 men and 784 

 women; Stanford, with 1,243 men and 500 

 women; Chicago, with 936 men and 767 

 women; Kansas, with 942 men and 688
