Let's Make Those Buffaloes Extinct
AND HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT IS FAR FROM EXTINCT-
Did You Know That一
- 10,036 students are enrolled in the University of Kansas this year.
- This is 20% of all college students in Kansas.
- K.U. enrolls 23% of all college juniors, 25% of all college seniors and 43% of all graduate and professional students in Kansas.
- For every $1 spent to educate a freshman or sophomore, $2 must be spent on a junior or senior,and $4 on a graduate student.
- By 1964 K.U. expects to have 3,000 more students, by 1970 almost 17,000 will be enrolled, by 1975 more than 20,000—this is a reliable estimate, not a casual estimate.
- The reasons are a rapidly rising birthrate, a steadily increasing percentage of high school attendance,and a zooming percentage of college attendance.
- Almost 50% of college-age Kansans are enrolled in college, ranking the state 6th in the nation.
In the University of Kansas ALUMNI MAGAZINE for October, 1959, 12,000 members of the K.U. Alumni Association read an article entitled "People—Not Numbers," which presented for the first time a complete, authentic prediction from K.U. on future enrollments.
