CHAPTER XXXIX.

STATISTICAL REVIEW OF HIGHER EDUCATION, 1895-96.

The institutions for higher education in the United States are given in this report under the following headings: (1) Universities and colleges for men and for both sexes; (2) colleges for women; (3) schools of technology; (4) professional schools and departments. In the summarized and detailed tables of these institutions are given statistics concerning the entire institutions, and not of the collegiate departments only. It is a well-known fact that a large number of the institutions for higher education, especially in comparatively recently settled sections of the country, maintain preparatory departments for the secondary, and in some cases for the elementary education of pupils, as well as normal, business, music, art, and other departments of instruction. The number of students in attendance at such departments is of course included in the column giving the total number of students in attendance at the institution as a whole. In the summarized and detailed tables great care has been taken to tabulate separately the number of students in the several departments of the institutions, so that it is an easy matter to ascertain the number of students that may properly be included under the general head of higher education. Counting all of the students in undergraduate and graduate departments of the classes of institutions named above, it is found that there were, during the year under consideration, 139,611 students in higher education, of which number 33,705, or 24.14 per cent, were women. If professional students, including students in law, medicine, and theology, are excluded, there remain 97,377 students in undergraduate and graduate departments of colleges and schools of technology, 32,234, or 33.1 per cent, being women.

The summarized statistics, showing the number of students in higher education in each class of institutions, as well as the total number in higher education in all of the institutions, are given by States and Territories in the table which follows, while the statistics concerning the several classes of institutions may be found on the pages following the combined table.
