One Half of Class of 1938 Entered Graduate or Professional Schools

Half of the members of the Class of 1938 attend graduate or professional schools after their graduation from Harvard, the Dean's office revealed yesterday. Of the 938 men who reported on their activities, 468 stated that they had engaged in some sort of post-graduate study.

Of this number, 255 or 27.2% of the men reporting, said they were attending one of the Harvard schools, while the remaining 213 carried on their specialized work elsewhere.

By far the greatest number of those who chose to enter Harvard graduate schools went to the Law School, which had 37.3% of those taking graduate work here. The Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences and Business Administration each received 10% of the group. Ten per cent went to the Medical School.

The proportions of the students choosing non-Harvard graduate schools were quite different. Arts and sciences at other universities attracted 35.7% of the total number, with Law Schools and Medical Schools following with 27.7% and 24.4% respectively.

Of the class of 1035 students, 192, or 17.7% did not receive their bachelor's degree in College. Four hundred and twenty-five graduates did not go on for advanced study. Of the 468 graduate schools, 45.1% received honors in College. On the other hand. Only 21.9% of the men that did not continue their studies graduated from Harvard with honors.
