In the fall of 1961 a study of all entering freshmen students at a national sample of 248 colleges and universities was conducted at the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (Astin, 1965). The 127,212 students who participated in the study provided informa-tion on their socioeconomic backgrounds, high school activities and achievements, and educational and vocational aspirations.1 In the summer of 1965 the Office of Research of the American Council on Education2 followed up randomly selected samples of students from each of 246 colleges and universities included in the 1961 survey.3 Questionnaires were mailed to 60,078 of the original 127,212 students—or approximately 250 students per institution.4
