Easterners Dominate '51 Enrollment Despite University Dispersion Effort

Four out of every 11 Freshmen represent Massachusetts, Students from the Empire State of New York make up 18 percent of the Class, which has the third largest freshman enrollment in College history with 1100.

Daleware was the only state in the East, which has 823 first-year men in College, to fail to include a students in the Freshman Class, Ninety Yardlings come from New York City alone.

Bivetching from the Alleghenies almost, to the Rookies, the vast Middle West sent forth 158 of her sons. From the South extending from Florida to Texas, 48 Yardlings crossed the Masen-Dixon Line to join the Class of '51.

Forty-one Freshmen deserted the Far West, an area situated between the Rookies and the Pacific Ocean, to trek eastward to the College.

From outside the Continental U.S.A. came 28 students, representing Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, England. Greece, Guatemale, Hawaiian Islands, India, Iraq, Italy, Mexico, Palestine, the Philippines, South Africa, and Venezuela.

Return to peacetime normalcy was in evidence in that only 10 percent of the first year men are vicunas.
