b Statistics of 1885-86.

List of Universities and Colleges from which no Information has been Received.

In response to repeated calls for the information, Table 51 has been prepared, showing the distribution of college students by States.

The data have been drawn from the catalogues of two hundred and eighty-eight colleges, which publish the residences of their students. In all but thirty-one cases the catalogues were for the year 1887.1

In twenty-five cases the catalogues of 1885-86 were employed; in five those of 1884-85, and in one case the catalogue of 1888.

Students in preparatory and professional departments have been excluded save in the case of nine colleges, where distinction was impossible. In these, however, the majority of the students were known to be collegiate.

The totals in Column 57, Table 51, show the number of students attending the colleges of the respective States.

The total at the foot of each column shows the number of students attending college from the State whose name heads the column.

Reading the table from left to right the entry in each column shows the number of students in the colleges of the State named at the left of the line to be credited to the State named at the head of the column.

Reading down a column the entries show in what States the students credited to the State whose name appears at the top of the column are attending college.

Table 50 presents in a somewhat condensed form the particulars given in Table 51. Column 2 shows the number of college students credited to each State, and Column 3 the ratio of the same to the college population. Column 5 shows the total number of students in the colleges of each State so far as known to the Office. The remaining columns show the geographical distribution of the students attending the colleges of the several States. By reference to Table 51, it appears from Column 57 that there were 432 students attending colleges in Maine. Reading from left to right it appears that 373 of these were credited to Maine, 29 to New Hampshire, 2 to Vermont, 15 to Massachusetts, etc. Again, the total at the foot of Column 3 shows that Maine furnished 496 college students. Reading down the column it appears that 373 of these were attending colleges in Maine, 17 in New Hampshire, 63 in Massachusetts, etc.

1 This includes 1886-87, 1887, 1887-88.
