The number of undergraduate students pursuing the various courses of study, so

The classification by courses of study of students pursuing liberal studies is becoming a difficult matter, as the elective and group systems have to a great extent and are still superseding the old system of prescribed courses of study. Thus, the number of students given above under classical courses includes 23,324 students not classified by a number of institutions under the several courses, but who are known to be pursuing liberal studies. The number of students enrolled in technical courses is increasing very rapidly.
