Hoffman Says
All Counties
Represented
Every-:county . in; Pennsylvania
and 42 states are represented in
Penn State’s enrollment this se
mester/ according to figures com
piled by Registrar William S;
Hoffman.
The survey included 7064 stu
dents on the campus and 131 men
enrolled at the Pennsylvania State
Forest School of Mont Alto.
The 1628 freshmen at State
Teachers’ Colleges and. other co
operating colleges in the State;
and the 1705 freshmen and sopho
mores attending the four under
graduate centers of the- College,
are not included in the survey. -
Centre County Leads
Centre county headed the list
with 748 students enrolled, but it
was pointed out that many of these
students are men and women who
made State College their home
when they first enrolled. Alle
gheny county has 582 students en
rolled, and Philadelphia county
lists 457. Luzernb, Montgomery,
Blair and Delaware counties fol
low in that order. .
Every state .in the nation is rep
resented on the campus this Fall
except Arizona, Arkansas, Mis
souri, Nevada, North Dakota, and
Oklahoma. Most of the states,
however, are represented by only
one or two students.'
Wide Distribution
It was explained that the wide
geographic distribution this Fall
resulted largely from the policy
of the College to admit only vet
erans who had previously been
enrolled here. Many of them were
here for one or more semesters
under the ASTP, NROTC, or V-12
programs and desired to return as
civilians and get their degrees
from Penn State-
For example, half of the 98
men presently enrolled in Navy
ROTC, men who had taken train
ing here while on active duty with
the U.S. Navy, are out-of-state
students.
