By Michele Taylor | May 20, 1994

The 15 additional students who have enrolled in the Class of 1998 since the May 1 response deadline increased the percentage of minorities but did not affect the class's gender ratio. Next year's freshman class will include 48.4 percent women, the highest ever in Dartmouth history. The class will consist of 24.3 percent minority students, which represents nearly a 1 percent increase since the Admissions Office's reply deadline.

By Michele Taylor | May 6, 1994

The incoming Class of 1998 will have the closest ratio of men to women in the College's history and a higher percentage of minorities than last year.

The incoming class currently has 23.5 percent minority students -- up from 22.8 percent last year -- and Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg said he anticipates the number to increase once students with deadline extensions return their responses.

The scholarships are funded by the fraternity's national organization. The scholarship is usually awarded to two men the summer before they arrive at college, Richman said.
