Oregon Registration Figures Show Unusually Small Drop Enrollment figures have dropped only five per cent from the Fall, 1948 total, with 5833 registering for University classes this term compared to 6125 one year ago, according to statistics released released Tuesday by Clifford L. Constance, Registrar. With 1755 women and 4078 men students registering, the ratio of men to women is now 2.32 to 1. The only school to show an in crease over last year is the School of Education, with 24 per cent more students. All classes showed a decrease in enrollment except the senior class, which showed an increase of 53 per cent. A total of 1461 seniors registered. The fact that only a five per cent drop in total enrollment ocur ,red is unusual, as the general na tional average predicts a drop of 7 to 10 per cent for all institutions, revealed Lyle Nelson, Director of Information. Nelson gave three main reasons why this may be true: (1) The population of Oregon has increased. (2) A strengthening of the University has occurred. t>c cause of this a large number of transfer students are attending classes. (3) The national average takes into consideration all schools and some, technical schools in par ticular, have dropped sharply in enrollment. The enrollment of graduate stu dents is up 16 per cent. Reasons given for this by Nelson deal pri marily with the facts that more veterans have graduated and gone into the graduate area, and that the University has a good gradu ate program. Veteran enrollment is decreas ing. Last year 54 per cent of the University’s students were vet erans, while the figure is close to 33 per cent this year. The last large group of veterans will gradu ate in the June, 1950 senior class. Enrollment should level off un til 1960, predicted Nelson, and then, as the war babies reach col lege age, increase again. Expected enrollment for the 1960’s at the University is set at 7000 to 9000.
