per cent, of its enrolment hailing from 

 Michigan, the corresponding figures for 

 Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio being 82 per 

 cent., 84 per cent, and 91 per cent., respect- 

 ively. The clientele of the three middle 

 western state universities last mentioned is, 

 therefore, much more local in character 

 than that of any of the eastern institutions 

 comprised in the table, whereas Michigan 

 attracts a larger percentage of students 

 from outside of its own state than do Penn- 

 sylvania, Columbia, Cornell or Lehigh. Of 

 the eastern universities Yale still has the 

 largest clientele in this section of the coun- 

 try, followed by Harvard, Cornell, Colum- 

 bia, Princeton and Pennsylvania, as last 

 year. The largest gains in individual 

 states (15 or over) during the past two 

 years have been made by Columbia in Wis- 

 consin, by Harvard in Missouri, by Penn- 

 sylvania in Ohio, and by Yale in Ohio, the 

 greatest loss being that of Harvard in the 

 state last mentioned. Columbia's represen- 

 tation in this group of states has grown 

 from 262 to 329 in two years, Pennsyl- 

 vania's from 139 to 176, Yale's from 506 

 to 577, while Cornell's has dropped from 

 381 to 377, Harvard's from 526 to 522 and 

 Princeton's from 209 to 184. Of the New 

 England colleges Dartmouth has the largest 

 following in the North Central division, 

 with Willi<tms second and Amherst third, 

 Brown's representation being small. The 

 representation of Amherst in these states 

 has grown from 43 to 62 during the past 

 year, that of Dartmouth from 91 to 122, 

 while that of Williams has remained sta- 

 tionary at 86. Lehigh exhibits an increase 

 from 6 to 13. California and Virginia have 

 a smaller following in this division than 

 any of the eastern universities or colleges, 

 with the exception of Brown and Lehigh. 

 Leaving the University of Rli^iois out of 

 consideration, Michigan has the largest fol- 

 lowing in Illinois, followed by Wisconsin, 



Yale, Harvard, Cornell, each of which has 

 over one hundred students from this state. 

 Michigan also leads in Indiana, followed by 

 Illinois, Columbia, Harvard, Wisconsin. 

 In Iowa the order is Wisconsin, Illinois, 

 Michigan, Harvard, Yale, Columbia; in 

 Kansas— Michigan, Ulinois, Yale, Harvard; 

 in Michigan (leaving the state university 

 out of consideration)— Yale, Cornell, Illi- 

 nois, Columbia, Wisconsin, Harvard; in 

 Minnesota— YaJe, Harvard, Wisconsin, Co- 

 lumbia, Michigan; in M.\s,sonv\— Michigan, 

 Yale, Harvard. Illinois, Columbia; in Ne- 

 braska— TVisconsMi, Michigan, Yale, Illi- 

 nois, Columbia; in North Dakota — Wiscon- 

 sin, Columbia; in Ohio (leaving the state 

 university out of consideration)— Mic/ii- 

 gan, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia; in 

 South 'DskoiSu— Michigan, Wisconsin, Illi- 

 nois; and in Wisconsin (leaving the state 

 university out of consideration) — Illinois, 

 Michigan, Columbia, Harvard, Yale. The 

 main strength of Amherst, Dartmouth and 

 Williams in this division lies in the state 

 of Illinois. Excluding in each case the 

 respective state university, the state of Illi- 

 nois is represented by 1,110 students at the 

 institutions mentioned in the list, Ohio by 

 1,076, Wisconsin by 252 and Michigan by 

 215, i. e., 63 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 74 per cent, and for Michigan 

 and Wisconsin it is 92 per cent., as last 

 year. 



In the western division (leaving Califor- 

 nia out of consideration) Michigan conimu^s 

 in the lead, with Harvard and Columbia, 

 each of which attracts over one hundred 

 students from this section, following; then 

 come Yale, Cornell, Illinois, Pennsylvania, 

 Wisconsin, Princeton, the order being iden- 

 tical with that of last year, with the excep- 

 tion of Wisconsin, which has passed Prince-
