Davidson college will have a freshman class of 225 this fall, and as many more who applied for admission to that class have been turned away for lack of room. Twenty-five years ago colleges like Davidson, Trinity (now Duke University) and Wake Forest thought they were doing fine if they had 225 students in the entire institution. The population of North Carolina is not twice what it was 25 years ago, but the number of students in colleges of the State is 10 times as great as it was 25 years ago.
