"Student Trends
The average 1965 entering undergraduate student in the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences came from a home with three children or less. On an average, more mothers received their undergraduate degree than fathers. In 15 per cent of the cases the father was a college graduate. However, more fathers than mothers who completed their B.S. degree continued their education at the graduate and professional level.
Twenty-five per cent of undergraduate students entering the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences came from a high school with less than 100 students in the senior class. Ninety per cent of the entering students ranked in the upper one-half of the high school class academically, and 80 per cent were active members of student organizations. Approximately 50 per cent of them served as officers in such organizations as science clubs, student government, Future Farmers of America, and 4-H Clubs."
