COLLEGE ENROLMENT BROADENED

Although a majority of the students at the College come from New England, the growth in the representation of the West has been more rapid in the last ten years than that of localities nearer at hand. Of the sections of the country, the South Central States alone have lost considerably.

These changes are shown by a pamphlet containing a list of the secondary schools, universities, colleges, technical schools, and normal schools from which students have entered the College during the last ten years. During the period from 1906 to 1915 the following secondary schools sent one hundred or more boys: Boston Latin School,  381 Phillips Exeter Academy,  302 Cambridge High and Latin School,  254 Noble and Greenough,  232 Milton Academy,  179 Phillips Academy, Andover,  168 Middlesex School, Concord,  146 St. Mark's School, Southboro,  141 Groton School,  139 Volkmann School,  133 St. Paul's School, Concord, N. H.,  131 English High School, Boston,  129 Newton High School,  122 Roxbury Latin School,  107

For the same period the gain per cent. in the number of students entering the College from the New England States has been as follows:   Per cent. Maine,  120 New Hampshire,  34 Vermont,  -- Massachusetts,  11 Rhode Island,  30 Connecticut,  100

From New England as a whole the increase is 26 per cent. from public schools and 14 per cent. from private schools, while the gain for both combined in the number of students entering in 1915 against the number entering in 1906 is 18 per cent.

The most interesting figures, however, are those of the entire country. During this same period of years, 1906 to 1915, the gain from the North Atlantic States was 14 per cent, the gain in private schools being 31 per cent. and in public schools 33 per cent: from the South Atlantic States the total gain was 70 per cent., the gain in public schools being 100 per cent; from the Western States the gain of public schools was 66 2-3 per cent. and that of private schools 166 2-3 per cent.; from the North Central States the total gain was 50 per cent., public schools gaining 66 2-3 per cent. and private schools 14 2-7 per cent. The only division of the United States which showed a loss was the South Central States, which fell behind during this period by 37 1-2 per cent. The United States as a whole showed a gain of 17 1-2 per cent., the public schools gaining 37 per cent. and the private schools 3 per cent.
