STUDENTS IN COLLEGE COME FROM 832 SCHOOLS

That only three states of the Union have sent no students to the University during the past ten years, was a fact discovered upon the publication of a pamphlet containing a list of all the educational institutions in this country and abroad from which students have been admitted to the Freshman class during the decade from 1916 to 1925. A total of 832 schools in the United States is included on the list, representing all the states except Nevada. Wyoming and Kansas.

Nine Foreign Countries Listed

Of the American dependencies, the Canal Zone, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Porto Rico have been represented by nine schools. And 24 schools represent nine foreign countries, including Canada, Cuba, England, France, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey.

The report shows, moreover, that the number of students entering the University from high schools, has increased over 1916 in almost equal proportion to the gain in private preparatory school candidate over the total of that date.

For example, Boston Latin School, the largest high school on Harvard's entrance lists, has increased the number of its Freshman from 19 in 1916 to 96 in 1925. In the same period, Phillips Exeter Academy, which tops the private school group, has increased its entering group from 34 to 63.

Of the New England private preparatory schools, nearly all show an increase in the number of students entering Harvard. Among them are Milton Academy, which has gone from 20 to 29; Middle-sex School, Concord, Mass., 15 to 20; St. Paul's School, Concord, New Hampshire 19 to 25; Huntington School, Boston, 5 to 12; and Thayer Academy, Quincy, 2 to 6.

Phillips Academy, Andover, has shown an interesting series of fluctuation in the number of men entering Harvard. In 1916 the number stood at 33, and in 1925 at 29. In 1917, the number sank as low as 19; in 1921, it rose to 33 again, and on the following year it again sank to 19.
