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.
