Hitt Cites Enrollment Trends for Faculty
In answer to the question—"How Many Students Do We Have, Anyway?" —James K. Hitt, director of admissions and registrar, addressing the Faculty Club Forum, said
ing the Faculty Club Forum, said:
"As the Chancellor said in his inaugural speech, KU's enrollment will be close to 10,000. It will definitely break the 1948 record of 9.751."
Mr. Hitt said the official figure won't be known until October when all fee payment figures have been compiled.
"But the most interesting thing about counting students is the comparative trends obtained from the figures," he said in his talk Sunday.
He referred to the Annual Report of the Registrar for 1959-60 and cited these examples from the tables:
- Fall semester registration for the period 1910-59 showed a gradual growth-until the World War II drop; the post-war war-sit from 2,777 in 1944 to 9,751 in 1948; the decline

to 6,512 in 1951 and the steady increase to last year's 9,435.
- The graduate level is increasing more, proportionately, than any other class. Of the total KU enrollment, 25 per cent have a degree and are doing graduate work. This includes the Schools of Law and Medicine.
- The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has been increasing in enrollment while the School of Engineering has decreased somewhat in the past two years. The School of Education has shown a gain. The other schools are holding steady.
- The ratio of men and women students, which was two to one before the war and three to one after the war, has returned to the prewar figure.
- Almost 22 per cent of the student body is married. This phenomenon, which began with the post-war veterans, has unexpectedly remained constant.
- Of the 1,531 new freshmen last year, 26.5 per cent (413) were from out of state. About one-half of these were from Missouri and three-fourths of the Missourians were from the state-line cities of Joplin, Kansas City and St. Joseph.
The most significant figure and termed "startling" by Mr. Hitt is the quality of incoming freshmen.
About eighty per cent of the freshmen in 1959 stood in the upper-half of their high school senior class.
"Few state universities have as high a percentage," Mr. Hitt said, "and even more remarkable is that 27.4 per cent were in the upper one-tenth of their class."
He said this high quality could presumably be attributed to the University's scholarship and gifted student programs.
Commenting on KU's role in the total Kansas educational picture, Mr. Hitt explained that 20 per cent of all Kansas college students and 50 per cent of all Kansas graduate students are enrolled at KU,
