170 Sixteen Years at the University of Illinois degrees in railway engineering, four were granted to students of other states and two to students from foreign countries.

In entomology, philosophy, bacteriology and railway engineering, all the higher degrees were received by students from other states or from foreign countries. It is evident from these figures that the work of the University of Illinois has become favorably known beyond the borders of the state during the past sixteen years. This fact is shown even more clearly by the total enrolment of students at the University during the year 1917-18, as presented in the following table: GEOGRAPHICAL DISTBIBUTION OP STUDENTS 1917-13 Urbana Chicago Illinois 3,756 367 States other than Illinois 1,113 198 Insular possessions of the U.
