In this list of fifty-eight colleges I have included: first, the
twenty-four colleges (indicated in the list by “a”) whose graduates
are admitted to the Association of collegiate alumnæ; second, the
twenty-three colleges (24 are included in the Federation, but Barnard
has ceased to be a graduate school, see page 28) included in the
Federation of graduate clubs (indicated by “b”); third, the fifty-two
colleges (indicated by “c”) included in the 1899–1900 edition of
Minerva, the well-known handbook of colleges and universities of the
world published each year by Truebner & Co.; and fourth, the colleges
which, according to the U. S. education report for 1897–98, have at
least $500,000 worth of productive funds (indicated by “d”), and also
three hundred or more students (indicated by “e”). In the case of
state universities the money they receive annually from national and
state appropriations may reasonably be regarded as a sort of
supplementary endowment; I have, therefore, included the state
universities of Maine, Iowa and West Virginia, whose productive funds
do not amount to $500,000. This list of fifty-eight colleges, arranged
according to the different sections of the country, and as far as
possible in the order of the numbers in their undergraduate
departments, is as follows: _New England and 3 northern middle

Massachusetts institute of technology (acde-coed.), Smith
