This study was made to determine the relationship between the size of full-time undergraduate student enrollment at higher education institutions and the amount of their charges for tuition and required fees, for the 1962-63 academic year. Inasmuch as, on the average, publicly controlled institutions derive about 12^ percent of their general and educational income from tuition and required fees, and privately controlled institutions derive about 45 percent from the same source, this inquiry should provide an indication as to whether larger-or smaller-sized institutions obtain a higher proportion of educational and general funds from tuition and required fees.Using the median charges to full-time undergraduate students as reported in Basic Student Charges, 1962-63 1 by type of institution and by control, the number of institutions and their median enrollment were computed for each group's institutions which had above-median charges and for each group's institutions which had below-median charges. In public institutions the nonresident charges and enrollments were excluded. (A total of 1,895 higher education institutions [of 2,056 queried] responded to the 1962-63 survey, which represents a response rate of 92 percent. That these data are highly representative of the various types of public and private institutions is indicated by the fact that the response rate varied from 88 percent of junior colleges to 100 percent of universities for public institutions, and from 84 percent of "other professional" 2 schools to 95 percent of universities for private ones.)
