Distribution of the former students to whom the questionnaire was sent by major divisions of registration and by graduates and nongraduates in the major division of first registration is shown by Table 2.

TABLE 2.-Distribution of matriculants to whom questionnaire was sent

This report selected for special study the former students who specialized in five major fields-agriculture, engineering, home economics, arts and sciences, and education. Table 3 shows the number of cases reported in each of these fields.

TABLE 3.-Reports available for study in five major fields

1 Includes those registered in major divisions of home economics, arts and sciences, and agriculture who specialized in home economics.

Teacher-training tabulations are divided into two groups, those who registered in the major division or school of education, and those who registered in arts and sciences but who are now employed in the field of education. For convenience in securing comparable data for these two groups, they appear in teacher-training tabulations under the headings "Education" and "Arts and Sciences." When "Education" appears it means only those who registered in the major division of education. It must be borne in mind that arts and science cases that appear in teacher-training tables refer only to those who are at present in educational work. These cases are also included in the tables that deal with the entire body of arts and

science students.

TABLE 6.—Distribution of students by fields of college specialization from reports by teacher-training students

From the above table, we find that of the 1,160 graduates and 559 ex-students in arts and sciences who are now in the field of education, 1,043 graduates, or 89.89 per cent and 431 ex-students, or 77.10 per cent, specialized in subjects other than teacher training in college. Of the 307 graduates and 177 ex-students registered in the major division of education, 209 graduates, or 68.07 per cent, and 79 ex-students, or 44.63 per cent, specialized in fields other than teacher training.

In so far as is practicable the tables derived from analysis of data furnished in regard to the five fields selected for special study are presented in a form to facilitate comparison among the field and as between graduates and nongraduates. Attention is called to the fact that "graduates " means in every case graduates in the division in which the students originally matriculated. If the student later transferred to another major division, his case is recorded as a nongraduate. "Nongraduates" does not mean, therefore, that the

student failed to receive a degree from the institution; it means that he failed to complete his work in the major division of first registration. His further work in the institution after such transfer and whether it led to a degree is recorded by Table 13. Of the total number of 13,082 nongraduates, 8,327 originally registered in these three divisions but failed to complete their work for degrees in these fields. Of the 8,327 only 937 received degrees from other major divisions in the same institution.

Age at college entrance is quite frequently considered with reference to the entire body of matriculants, although it would seem probable that social and intellectual differences that characterize students who choose different types of college study should result in some differences in age as between these groups. Tables 7 and 8 were prepared, therefore, in order to determine the actual ages at entrance of those who complete their courses and of those who do not do so for each of the five lines of specialization selected for study.
