GRADUATING CLASS IS SMALL, BUT LOSSES FEW i University Registrar Graphs Attendance to Study Cause of Withdrawals 1 By Wendell M. Keck Although the class which will be graduated from Willamette university in June this year will be the smallest since 19 23. it has had a smaller proportional loss of members than any class since 1919. The present enrollment of. the class Is 68. according to R. A. McCully. university registrar. Throughout Us four year course at Willamette its numbers have been as high in proportion as claeses in universities all over the United States, when Its records are com pared with those compiled by reg iatrars in other schools. Whereas the average mortality between en trance and graduation Ik 61 per cent for the country at large, this class has had a lose of 82 per cent. Sophomore Lots Low At the beginning of its sopho more year, the present senior class bad lost SO per cent of the membership it had at entrance the year before; this compares favor ably' with the average loss of 4S per cant In the colleges of -the: United States, as computed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars.- The loss between the second and third years was SS per cent, which Is the average In most schools. The loss between the junior and senior years was 16 per cent. -Mr. McCully stated that the records of the present senior class seem to Indicate that a class with elected .membership has a lower classes taken in without any re strictions. This theory has been fairly well substantiated by the records of other schools of higher learning. Men Average 'Well The ratio of men to women in the present graduating class has been exceptionally high during all four years. In the first year the men outnumbered their sisters by a heir-dozen, with a total of 93 to 87. In the second year the men had a heavy loss aad were out numbered in the ratio of 68 to 57. In the junior year the number of men and women was equal, with 41 for each. This year there are 33 men aad 35 women. The num ber of women is now 40 per cent and the number of men 35 per cent of what they were at the be ginning of the class history. "The history of classes at Wil lamette university cow pares favor ably with that of classes In other institutions, and in f some points our classes show up better.' de clared Mr. McCully, who has re cently completed histories of aM classes since 1919. j Ovtatde lnftaevcM Show Several interesting sidelights of university history were brought to light in the figures recently com piled. piled. As an example, there Is the matter of the, exceptionally high freshman mortality of 66 per cent in the class of 19 20. The class entered the university In the mortality from year to year than Sail of 1916; the following spring ame the call for volunteers for he American army, and when the lass of 1920 returned for its sec ond year, it had a loss of about 0 per cent over the normal loss expected. On the other hand, the ?las3es from 1923 to 1927 had losses of between 49 and 51 per rent between their first and sec ond years according to Mr. Me Cully. This low variation indi cated that things were getting back to normal In the world of college attendance. More than that, these classes were all large. which is partly accounted for by the fact that they entered during a period when the university was making some effort at getting publicity, and when the Forward Movement was beginning. Lowest Loss Cttartert The figures compiled by the Willamette university registrar have been Incorporated Into a series of attendance graphs. The loss of the present graduating class is the lowest of that of any class now In school, with the ex ception of the freshman class, for which figures are not yet avail able. The present junior class lost 36 per cent of Its members the first year, and the present sopho more class lost 45 per cent. Classes from 1920 to 1922 showed gaina of from IX to $3 per cent In their enrollment. These gains havs also been Interpreted as an indication of adjustment following the war. for it, was a period when .many who had left college halla for training camps were corning back to complete their formal education. The class pf 1923 showed a loss of 11 per cent for Its senior vear, but classes from 1924 to 1926 had gains de creasing from 22 per cent to four per cent; the classes of 1927. 1928 and 1929 have shown losses for their last year. Variety of Causes American registrars have been studying the problem of loss of enrollment for years, and the causes for the losses are varied. Approximately 20 per cent of the losses come during the school year. Sickness of students, sick ness and death In the family, and financial difficulties all take their toll. Lack of ability to do college grade work is given the leading place among the causes of stu dents quitting their books, and is given as the reason for 4 5 per cent of the total losses.
