Study By Hoover:
Enrollment Begins-
Expected Increase
Enrollment at Nebraska is pre-high schools from 1930 to 1954, in
tently marked at 7S99. The low J eluding estimates for 1959 and
reached in 1952 was 66S4.
The point of greatest enrollment
ever reached at the University, in
cluding the College of Medicine
and the Graduate College, was
1033 in 1947 and 10.073 in 1943.
Enrollment jumpd from 1945 at
4268 to 9643 in 1946.
Th lowest point in University
enrollment since 1920 was 3036 in
1943, when the campus contained
nothing but frustrated coeds, mili
tary science students and a hand
ful of fcur-Fs and pimply-faced
freshman men.
Things eased up a bit in 1944
when 5265 students trooped to Ne
braska. The great influx from 1946
through 1950 made housing a bit
tiuchy. Coeds, however, were seen
dancing in the streets.
Since 1920, the median enroll
ment of the University has been
about 6400 students, Hoover re
ported. He made his study of en
rollment to provide some indica
tion as to bow much of an increase
in University enrollment might be
expected in th next 10 to 15 years.
Also included in Hoover's study
was computation of freshman en
x!!ment at the University from
1931 through 1954. including esti
mates for 1960 and 1965. He also
listed twelfth grade (senior in high
school) enrollment in Nebraska

1964.
From these figures, he could fig
ure approximately the percentage
of Nebraska high school graduates
who entered the Univrsity the
aext year.
The greatest percentage so far
ivas the graduating class of 1945,
f which 17.3 entered the Uni
versity the following fall. The
smallest percentage was in 1942,
when only 4.81 entered.
The percentage of high school
graduates entering the University
the next fall has been increasing
unce 1949, when 9.89 entered.
From the high school class of
li'SS, 12.31 entered the Univer-
sity. .. j
Hoover predicted a freshman
class of 2157 for 1960, and a class
of 3000 for 1965. The highest fresh
man class entering to date was
2597 in 1946. During the war, the
entries dropped to as low as 799.
Total enrollment for 1965 has
been computed to reach 10,913.
The University expects a 50 per
cent increase in the next ten yars.
Enrollment at the University has
started a slow but steady increase,
following a post-war low in 1952
when the last of the World War II
veterans left school. Dr. Floyd
Hoover, Director of Registration
and Records, reported.

Powdered Nonsense
Coeds beware the first real snow of the winter fell Friday
night, dumping four inches of snow-ball material on campus. The
students pictured above are making a snowman, or pershaps a
barricade. The last week of school before Christmas vacation al
most demands winter landscaping; there's no pre-holiday antici
pation if Soc Building doesnt smell like wet galoshes. Out-state
students pictured above are making a snowman, or perhaps a
way home. Nearly every house has a Christmas tree, so campus is
somewhat picturesque with colored lights reflected on the lawn.
