Abstract
OFFICIAL figures for the student body in the German Reich are available up to and including the academic year 1936-37. Frequent alteration in methods of classification and description have obscured the nature of some of the changes and make it difficult and sometimes impossible to interpret them. Only the less equivocal figures are here discussed. For the academic years 1932-33, 1933-34 and 1934-35, these are taken from the official Deutsche Hochschulstatistik, vols. 10-14; for 1935-36 from the official Die Deutschen Hochschulen vol. 1 (vol. 2 for 1936-37 either has not appeared or is inaccessible in the United States and Great Britain) ; for 1936-37 from the Statistisches Jahrbuck fur das Deutsche Reich of 1937. There is reason to believe that the tendencies described below have continued in the academic year 1937-38.
