Exeter will have 56 of its graduates in the five new Houses, while Andover will have 32; the Middle West will be represented by 127 students, while the South will have only 28.

The report classified the distribution of students according to geographical origin, public or private schools, standing on the College rank list, and fields of concentration. Omitting a few large differences, the various Houses have for registered any remarkable preponderance of one classification.

New England and Mid-Atlantic sections lead with 277 and 225 respectively, while the Middle West with 127 is the only other part of the country well represented. With Exeter and Andover leading, the next private schools are St. Paul's, with 16, and Milton, with 15 members. In the college rank lists the 230 students in group V are most numerous, and the 10 students in group I are the scarcest. Economics, with 140 students leads the fields of concentration, while English with 83 is second, and History is third with 61.
