Busy School Enrollment Sets Record As Hand-picked Class of 300 Enters

Selected from among almost 1,300 applicants, a first term class of 300 members has swollen enrollment at the School of Business Administration to an all time peak of 1559. The current entering class is the fourth largest since the resumption of civilian instruction in February 1946.

As usual, the largest single contributor among undergraduate schools to the entering class is Harvard College, with 39 entrants. Next follow Boston College, with 11, and Northwestern and Princeton with 10 each. Others with seven or more representatives are Amherst, California, M.I.T., Notre Dame, Washington, and Yale.

In addition to the 300 first termers. Business School enrollment includes 380 men in their second semester of studies, 415 in their third, and 362 in their fourth. In addition, there are 20 candidates for Doctor of Commercial Sciences degree and 75 Advanced Management Students.

Enrollment is expected to decline from its current high level this September, when the Business School will revert to its pre-war practice of admitting only one class a year, instead of the present four.

Further statistics on the incoming class reveal that 88 percent of its members are veterans, that 27 percent are married, and the average age is between 23 and 24.
