Thirty-five states of the union, besides the District of Columbia, are represented on the list of students; of the total number of 909, 533 are from Massachusetts, or 58.6 per cent, of the whole; 114 are from other New England states; 262 from outside New England, of whom 22 are from foreign countries. The average age of 255 students is eighteen years, six months and twelve days...

...smaller number to start with, gain more proportionately and at the same time gain less in real numbers. Let us suppose that we have two cities-one with a population of ten thousand and the other with five hundred thousand. The former makes again of one hundred per cent. in a given time, while the latter only gains four per cent.

Unless Yale gains not merely in per cent but gains more in actual numbers than Harvard, it will always be behind; and whatever may be true for the last three years, during the present year, Harvard has gained not only more numerically, but more proportionately than Yale. The same is true when we consider the past ten years, the past twenty...
