Abstract

white collar group is over-represented at Indiana University. 3. The farming, semi-skilled and unskilled groups are strongly attracted by the teaching profession. 4. Students from the farming and blue collar groups stand a better chance of having their college education postponed or interrupted by a work experience than students coming from the white collar group. 5. Students from the white collar group stand a better chance of becoming members of social fraternities at Indiana University than students coming from the farming and blue collar groups. 6. The G. I. Bill of Rights has increased the proportion of students from the blue collar group at Indiana University from 90 to 113 per cent.
