Out of the total of fifteen universities, with an aggregate enrollment of 50,624 students, eight, with 27,372 students, are in Western States. Harvard, the oldest, is the only university uni-versity with more than 6000 students, and only three others pass the 4000 mark. Between 3000 and 4000 there are six, and between 2000 and 3000 there are three. . That prestige and Importance are not determined by size alone Is shown by the fact that Yale ranks eleventh, while Princeton stands fourteenth, smaller than Syracuse, and with only Leland Stanford, Jr., below her.
