'Cliffe Admission Evenly Balanced

The Radcliffe Freshman class admitted in 1952 was almost evenly divided between those preparing at private schools and those at public schools, Mrs. Kathleen O. Elliott, Director of Admissions, announced last week in her report of the Committee on Admissions.

The public schools prepared 45.4 per cent of the class, the independent schools 49.6 per cent, and five per cent were prepared at both types of schools.

This class, numbering 280 students, was the second largest freshman class in the history of the college. Only 11 transfer students, a smaller number than usual, were accepted.

Almost half of the students came from Massachusetts and New York, Massachusetts leading with 68, and New York following with 61. Connecticut with 13, New Hampshire with 16, Ohio with 13, and Pennsylvania with 12 were next in order. Fourteen states were not represented, but the distribution among the others was fairly even.
