TH HIS STUDY 2 of the residence and migration of students enrolled in American institutions of higher learning in 1938-39 supplements a number of earlier investigations of the same problem made by the U. S. Office of Education. Findings from these migration studies have proven valuable to the various States in strengthening the appeal of their institutions to their own young people, and in pointing out the extent to which these institutions are also serving residents of other States. Questionnaires sent in the fall of 1939 to all institutions of collegiate grade listed in part III of the Educational Directory of the U. S. Office of Education requested information as to the number of students. enrolled during 1938-39 who came from each State in the Union, from various outlying parts of the United States, and from each of a considerable number of foreign countries. Statistics were to be based on regular full-time students, thus excluding part-time, extension, and summer school students from this survey of college migration. The 1,516 colleges which supplied the requested data represent 89 percent of all institutions listed for the year. In terms of student population the proportion of returns is undoubtedly much higher than 89 percent, since the institutions that did not submit reports were for the most part independent professional schools and small public and private junior colleges. I. STUDENT ENROLLMENT BY STATES During the year 1938-39 the total enrollment in the 1,516 reporting institutions was 1,231,210 students. Of these, 2,638 were residents of outlying parts of the United States, 7,956 were from foreign countries, and 1,220,616 were from the 48 States and the District of Columbia. The number of college-going students who were residents of a given State varied from 1,630 for Nevada to 117,137 for New York, as may be seen in table A. 1 The study from which these data are taken was jointly undertaken by the U. S. Office of Education and the University Committee on Educational Research at the University of Minnesota. Both the compilation and printing involved in this study have been delayed because of the war. 3 George F. Zook, Residence and Migration of University and College Students, Washington, U. S. Government Printing Office, 1926. 127 p. (Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Bulletin 1926, No. 11). Frederick J, Kelly and Betty A. Patterson, Residence and Migration of College Students, Washington, U. S. Government Printing Office, 1934. (Department of the Interior, Office of Education, Pamphlet No. 48.) To determine the proportion of students attending college anywhere to the population as a whole of the State from which they came, the 1940 population for a State was divided by the number of students from that State who were enrolled in colleges, universities, professional and teacher-training schools, or other types of collegiate institutions in any part of the country. The resulting statistics showed that one young person was enrolled in a college, either in his own or another State, for every 108 residents in the United States. The ratio of college students to the number of residents has changed considerably during the past two decades. In the U. S. Office of Education survey made in 1922-23 the proportion had been 1 to 212 residents; in 193031, 1 to 123; and in 1938-39, 1 to 108, showing that college opportunities have been widely extended in recent years. TABLE A Number of college students and proportions attending institutions within their own This figure is somewhat too high, since the 1922-23 statistics did not include teacher-training institutions.. When the present proportions are changed to correspond to the 1922-23 group, they become 1 to 144 in 1930-31, and 1 to 122 in 1938-39. |
