Harvard and Yale Statistics.

Some interesting facts as to the relative size of Harvard and Yale and their development during the past year are contained in the following table of sectional representation. The country is divided into four sections: northeastern, comprising New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; central, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin; western, comprising all states west of the Mississippi; and southern, comprising all states south of Pennsylvania and east of the Mississippi. Foreign countries make up a fifth division. The table shows the number of graduates and undergraduates now at Harvard and Yale from each section, the increase in numbers over last year, Harvard's majority over Yale in each section, and Harvard's net increase over Yale. The members of Harvard College and Lawrence Scientific School are counted as undergraduates, and members of other departments as graduates; the same plan is followed in the case of Yale College and Sheffield Scientific School in comparing them with the rest of Yale University.

The above table shows that 79 1-4 per cent. of Harvard students come from the northeastern section, 8 1-2 per cent. from the central section, 6 1-2 per cent. from the western, 3 3-4 per cent. from the southern and 2 per cent. from foreign countries. At Yale, 75 3-4 per cent. are from the northeastern section, 9 1-2 per cent. from the central section, 7 3-4 per cent. from the western, 5 per cent. from foreign countries. Of all the men attending the two universities, Harvard has 63 per cent. from the northeastern section, 59 3-4 per cent. from the central section, 58 3-4 per cent. from the western, 55 1-4 per cent. from the southern and 57 per cent. from foreign countries. The attendance at Harvard is 4 7-8 per cent. larger than last year, while Yale has gained less than 1-4 per cent. Harvard has gained 3 per cent. in the northeast, 9 per cent. in the central states, 5 3-4 per cent. in the west, 21 1-2 per cent. in the south, and 19 per cent in foreign countries. Yale has gained 3 1-4 per cent. in the northeast and 14 3-4 per cent. in the south, but has lost 19 3-4 per cent. in the central states, 2 per cent. in the western states and 11 3-4 per cent. in foreign countries. The most remarkable thing shown by this table is Yale's great loss in the central states, as against a considerable gain for Harvard in that section.
