This list of statistics of the various freshman classes is of interest though not an absolutely safe means of comparison, as some of the figures represent the entering class of the university while others simply mean the academic class.
Boston University reports a freshman class of 50; Bowdoin, 60; Brown, 247; Colgate, 55; Cornell, over 500; Dartmouth, 130; Hamilton, 54; Harvard (academic), 464; Lafayette, 85; University of Pennsylvania, 900 (which doubtless includes several departments); Rochester, 90; Rutgers, 48; Union, 80; Vermont, 100 Wesleyan, 100; Williams, 135; Yale (academic), 362. The freshman class at Brown shows a remarkable increase, and is larger than Harvard classes of fifteen years ago. The lists of total registration give: Boston University, 350; Chicago, 1,587; Columbia, about 2,000; Dartmouth, 530; Harvard (academic), 1,758; University of Illinois, 1,000; Johns Hopkins, about 425; University of Michigan, about 3,000; College of the City of New York, 733; University of Texas, 225; Tufts, 80.
