Student Life First, let us consider the studious man, who feels it to be his imperative duty to study constantly; who thinks he should never take time to remark to a friend that Mr. A had changed the place of parting his hair, or that a frat is spiking a new man; he is always seen with his hair in a book; he looks thin and wan, as though he were suffering from an east wind or indiges¬ tion. Finally the goal is reached, and he is a mental dyspeptic. A second class is composed of men whose disposition is to be envied. A man of this class never has the blues. He always meets you with a smile; always ready to throw down his book and laugh at the eccen¬ tricities of some crank, yet he always knows the lessons moderately well. If he happens to fail on an examination, he does not become moody, but resolves to do better. He takes life as it comes. There is another class that have not peculiarity save that they have aim in life — those who are here merely because circumstances keep them here. It might be well to add par¬ enthetically that the institution is not troubled with an individual member of this class lotig at a time. They hold ste¬ adfastly to the opinion that ambition is a dangerous thing, and constantly avoid danger. —1897 Cardinal Student Life 25

A Statistical Overview When Faces Fade to Mere Numbers On January 22, 1872, ten students, none of them high school graduates, met in a remote town in the Ozarks to form the University of Arkansas. All of the first students were from Fayetteville with its population of 995. And sure enough, in the spring of 1876, eight of the original plus one more graduated. Now, in 1976 with its record enroll¬ ment of 12,254, the UA is still in a remote town in Arkansas; however, a few state highways have wormed around the hills to make it a little more accessible. And because of the Razorbacks and its reputation for being a party school, it has made the city of Fayetteville, which has grown to a population of 31,915, a lit¬ tle more recognizable especially to fans of Southwest Conference teams. The largest number of students still come from the Fayetteville area with 3,147 from Washington County. Pula¬ ski County runs second with 1,197. Although the majority of students, 10,114, are Arkansas residents, there is at least one student from each of the 50 states in addition to 44 foreign countries. The surrounding states are well represented with 364 Texans, 299 Missourians, 222 Oklahomans, and 125 Louisianians. The largest group of foreign students is 38 from Iran. From the very first the University has been coeducational with five men and four women graduating in 1876. The ratio is still about the same with 7,447 males and 4,807 females. But as in the words of the 1898 Car¬ dinal it takes something more than a faculty and a few lecture rooms to make a university. The other requisite is a student body, and we have it. The students can now be broken down and categorized quickly by the computer but, as from the first years, it is still composed of diversified individuals. 26 Student Life
