BAY STATE PROVIDES NEARILY HALF UNDEARGRADUATE BODY

According to the report of the Associated Harvard Clubs Committee on Schools, written by N. H. Batchelder '01, nearly 50 per cent of the University's undergraduate population registers from Massachusetts. The South and the Far West contribute only three per sent each, and the rest of the undergraduate body is recruited from the other parts of the United States and from foreign countries. This would tend to show that the University is becoming more sectional in character and does not have as satisfactory a geographical distribution of students as is found at Yale.

It was also brought, out in the report that attendance from ten of the 11 large New England preparatory schools is on the increase. The sole exception is Groton, which has recently shown a falling off in the number of its graduates attending the University.
