are at institutions under private control. This distribution contrasts with that in student enrollment, wherein 50.2 percent of all students are at publicly controlled institutions and 49.8 percent are at those under private control. Buildings, grounds, and equipment used primarily for educational purposes were valued at a total of $2,252,877,465 in 1934, which compares with $2,207,294,577 reported in 1932. The increase, amounting to 2.1 percent, is net, being made up of new construction, new equipment, and newly acquired lands, and the like, partially offset by depreciation. Endowment, student aid, and other permanent funds totaled $1,539,727,565 in 1934. This figure cannot be compared with that reported in 1932 for the reason that the earlier figure included some noncash items, whereas that for 1934 includes cash items only. |
