Dr. Braxton Harris, assistant registrar in charge of admissions at Appala chian State Teachers College, ioone, N. C., laments that sometimes it reveals a groat deal of “lack of knowledge” about college, both on the part of young people and on the part of their parents. Here are some basic facts that this group ought to know: In the 1930’5, only about one million young people were in col ' lege. By 1961, according to the ! National Education Association, I the number had Jumped to same -1 what over three miHion, and it’s j still qolng up. This means that I something over one-third of all young people of college age (IS-2V are tin school.

The 1962-63 Education Dir-’ ■ ectory, just published by the U. . S. Office of Education, shows that i we have a total of 2,100 institu , tions of higher education now. Os . these. 623 offer at least two years of college work, but less than four. l They are, generally speaking, in 1 the junior college or community t college class. Many are quite » similar to major colleges except . in the length of program offered, and the number is growing fast. , Last year there were only 593 in this category. , There are today 1,447 degree granting institutions, of which 223 • , offer the doctor of philosophy as well as bachelor’s and master’s degrees. s Only about one in four of the ; students who start college ever I finish. There were 394,889 bache i lor’s land (first-professional de- I grees conferred in 1960, plus 74,497 second level degrees (usu ally the master’s and . 9.329 doc-1 tor’s degrees. There are just twice as many men in college as women. What do college students study? > A survey done at the University of Michigan in 1959 showed the fol lowing: agriculture, 135%; busi * ness, 19% education, 19,8 per cent; * engineering, 13% biological scien ; c 05,10%; humanities*. '11%; physi ■ cal sciences, 5.6%; social sciences, ' 9.5%; other, 7.3%i undecided * .4%; not reported, 2.1%. How about the cost ol going to colloge? The same Michigan sur vey showed that the cost of one year may vary from SSOO to $3,540 or more. The average was shown to be $1,550. The figure moves upvard a bit year by year, especially when colleges are forc ed to increase their tuition. Who pays the bill? Again, the Michigan study shows that 27.6 per cent have their whole way paid by mother and dad. The percentage is higher for girls than for boys. The fam ily paid the way for 21.4 per cent of the men, for 39.5 per cent of the women. A considerable number paid their way by a combination of money from home and their own earnings. The rest met expenses by various combinations of money from home, working, and scholar ship aid, without a cent from home.

It isn't always defer ■ whether these are separate rea : sons or reasons that go together. ' We might assume that sometimes the lack of a desire to go to 1 college would result in the high ■ school student’s having rather 1 poor grades. But the opposite is also possible. Next most important is the lack of money. About one-fourth of 1 ' all students Investigated in Mlehi gan study reported either that 1 their services were needed at home or thfet they did not have the finances. j About 10 per cent simply planned to take jobs on graduation from high school, while one-fifth to one fourth were planning to get mar ried or enter military service.
