The number of women graduates has been obtained in every case
through the courtesy of the presidents of the colleges concerned.
In some cases the women graduates have had to be selected from the
total number of graduates and counted separately for the purpose.
As the figures have never been printed before, I give them below:
_22 colleges belonging to the Association of collegiate
alumnæ_:—coeducational colleges: Boston, 522 graduates;
California, 440; Chicago, 267; Cornell, 517; Kansas, 259; Leland
Stanford, Jr., 289, Massachusetts institute technology, 45;
Michigan, 940; Minnesota, 458; Nebraska, 263; Northwestern, 317;
Oberlin, 1,486; Syracuse, 508; Wesleyan, 118; Wisconsin, 620.
Independent colleges: Vassar, 1,509; Wellesley, 1,727; Smith,
1,679; Bryn Mawr, 321. Affiliated colleges: Radcliffe, 278;
Barnard, 106; College for women of Western reserve, 135.
_Additional colleges_, 15 in number: Women’s college of Brown,
102; Cincinnati, 99; Columbian, 60; Colorado, about 70; Illinois,
131; Indiana, 282; Iowa, 340; Maine, 28; Missouri, no record; Ohio

Footnote 46:
The number of women studying in universities in Germany in 1898–99 was
approximately 471, probably mainly foreigners (statistics given in the
Hochschul Nachrichten, Minerva, etc.); in France in 1896–97,
approximately 410, of whom 83 were foreigners (Les Universités
françaises, by M. Louis Liard; vol. 2 of Special Reports on
Educational Subjects, Education department, London, 1898); in England
and Wales in 1897–98, approximately 2,348. (See catalogues of
different colleges.) The total number of women graduates in England
and Wales who have received degrees, or their equivalent, from English
and Welsh universities is about 2,180.
