The students native-born white of native father constitute almost two-thirds of the total number. The races represented by more than 500 students are the following: Races represented by more than 500 students. White native-born of native father.. Irish native-born of foreign father.. Hebrew native-born of foreign father. Per cent of total. 64.0 7.1 4. 4 3.8 3.7 2.4 1.8 English native-born of foreign father.. Canadian (other than French) native-born of foreign father. A comparison of the figures for the sexes show that a considerably larger proportion of the males than of the females were foreign-born; the percentages are 11.6 and 5.4, respectively. The races occupy much the same order as far as the proportion is concerned, among males and females. The tables next presented show for each of the departments the proportion of students of each race. In the first table, which relates to males, races represented by fewer than 100 students in the total for the 9 departments are not separately enumerated but are grouped under "other races," and in the second table, which relates to females, races represented by fewer than 50 students in the total for the 8 departments are not separately enumerated. In these tables Hebrews of the various nationalities are considered one race. TABLE 54.-Race distribution of male students, by department; percentages. a "Other races" includes races having fewer than 100 representatives in the total for the 9 departments. TABLE 55.-Race distribution of female students, by department; percentages. "Other races" includes races having fewer than 50 representatives in the total for the 8 departments. The columns which show the totals have already been discussed in connection with a previous table, and attention will be called only to the various departments. Of the students in the academic department, 9.5 per cent of the males and 3 per cent of the females are foreign-born, and 26.5 per cent of the males and 20.8 per cent of the females are immigrants of the second generation (native-born of foreign father). Aside from the native-born whites of native father, the Hebrews of the second generation among the males, and the Germans of the second generation among the females, have the highest proportions, the percentages being 6.1 and 5.8, respectively. Of the students in the engineering and technological department, 8.5 per cent of the males and 9.1 per cent of the females are foreignborn, and 23.6 per cent of the males and 34.2 per cent of the females are immigrants of the second generation (native-born of foreign father). Of the students in medicine, 11.5 per cent of the males and 19 per cent of the females are foreign-born, and 24 per cent of the males and 18.6 per cent of the females are native-born of foreign father. A comparison of the proportions in the various departments is also interesting. For the males the per cent native-born white of native father and the per cent foreign-born are as follows: The male Irish students native-born of foreign father compose The male Hebrew students native-born of foreign father are 7.3 per cent of the total in law and only 0.1 per cent of the total in theology.

TABLE 56.-Number of foreign-born male students in the United States each specified number of years, by race of student. TABLE 57.—Number of foreign-born female students in the United States each specified number of years, by race of student. The following table shows for foreign-born students the per cent who have been in the United States each specified number of years: TABLE 58.-Number of foreign-born students in the United States each specified number of years, by sex.
