• W2316392716 abstract "T HIS is a study of the classes of 1940 when they were freshmen at Colby College, Bowdoin College, and at the University of Maine. The data were secured on schedules filled out in class in the fall of 1936 through the cooperation of various instructors. After editing we had 475 usable cases from Maine, 153 from Colby, and 140 from Bowdoin. Our primary interest was in determining the size of the student and parent generations in relation to education of parents, occupation of father, religious affiliation of family, and size of community. Students were asked to state the number of brothers and sisters living and dead in their own generation and in that of their mothers and their fathers. It is assumed that the figures secured in this manner are underestimates. W. S. Thompson in a similar study found that, in checking with parents, students underestimated the parent generation size on the average by onehalf a child and their own generation by one-tenth of a child.' In our study no attempt has been made to correct for this error, the figures being summaries of the statements of the students. These families are of course all fertile. In all three colleges the largest number of cases in the student generation occurred at the two-child level. In the mothers' generation the largest number fell at the three-child size in the Colby and Maine series, but for Bowdoin it was at the five-child level. In the families of the fathers the mode occurred for Colby and Bowdoin at three children, and for Maine at four. Based upon the average number of children per family as shown in Table 1 the students at Maine come from the largest families with 3.67, then comes Colby with 3.28, and finally Bowdoin with 3.04. Stating this in another manner, for every hundred families in the Maine series there are 367 offspring, for Colby 328, and for Bowdoin 304. In the parent generation (secured by combining the mothers' and the fathers' generation figures) the average number of siblings for the Maine families is 4.95, for Colby 4.88, and for Bowdoin 4.59 per family. Comparing the average size of the parent and student generations we find that for the University of Maine there is a decrease of 1.28 children per family, for Colby 1.6, and for Bowdoin 1.55. On a percentage basis there is a decline from parent to student generation for the Maine series of slightly more than twenty-five per cent (25.8). In the Colby and Bowdoin cases the drop is roughly one-third (32.8 percent and 33.8 percent respectively). The corresponding decline in the Thompson study was 33.6 percent.2 Holmes found for a California series a decline of 29.8 percent.3 Baber and Ross discovered for native families a drop of 38.4 percent.4 A study made at" @default.
