U of L Enrollment Largest Since Post War Period;
Number Of Non- Residents Increases Accordingly
Enrollment for the fall
emester 1963-64 is the largest
ince the 1949-50 post war
period.
As of Sept. 25, total A & S
enrollment was 1963. The cor­responding
figure for t he 1962-
63 falJ semester was 1775. The
present enrollment is the first
one to top 1800 since 1949-50.
At that time 2263 students
registered. This enrollment was
artificially high due to t he
veteran's bill passed after
World War II.
The largest enrollment of the
College occurred in 1947-48
when 2708 students registered.
University enrollment during
this same year was· up corres­pondingly,
however; 3300 of
the University students were
veterans.
Freshman class enrollment is
also up this year in the College
of Arts and Sciences. Total
freshman registration is 497
compared to 430 at the same
time last year.
Of these 497, 291 are res­ident
students from Louisville
and Jefferson County while 206
are non-residents. The mem her
of non-resident men students
equals the number of resident
men students, but there are
fewer non-resident women. than
residents. Approximately three­fourths
of the non-residen't stu­dents
are from the North East­ern
part of the United States.
112 students were denied ad­mittance
to the College for the
fall semester. This is the larg­est
