Barnard Admits 230 Freshmen for Coming Year
Barnard College announces 230 freshmen will enter next year, the smallest class since 1919. Total enrollment around 170, down since 1943, with 132 transfers including four seniors and 23 foreign students among transfers and 14 foreign freshmen. Limited data suggest enrollment will drop as war-era factors fade and family support shifts. Emily G. Lambert, bursar, cites postwar adjustments and waning interest in women’s education as contributing factors.
