THE 'BOTTOM LINE': JMC STATISTICS
 
 
This Webpage offers a summary compilation of statistical data about Justin Morrill College during its existence from 1965 through 1979.

The data has been obtained from a variety of (mainly administrative) digests and other documents archived in the Michigan State University Library and dug up by your editor (Randy Whitaker) during trips back to East Lansing.

Some of the annotations indicate which documents were employed and which ones were available for which year(s).

If anyone has additional 'hard-core' data on JMC, its operations, its performance, or its outcomes, please Contact the Editor.
