...satisfactory enough, showing as they did, a gain of nearly 6 per cent in the outside representation of the University. Going a little further, however, I discovered that of the 692 men who entered in the fall of 1899, only 321, or 46 3-10 per cent, came from without the state. Here was a decrease of 1 3-10 per cent in a period of five years, for which I was at first quite unable to account.
