^{33. Prior to the session of 1929–1930, the summer session figures are grouped with the following fall semester and the extension year used is the September 1–August 31 year preceding the fall semester. Beginning with the session of 1929–1930, statistics are given for the academic year (September 1–August 31), the summer session being grouped with the preceding fall semester, and the extension year used being the September 1–August 31 year concurrent with the fall semester and summer session indicated.}

^{34. Because of the change in the method of recording enrollment figures, as explained in footnote 34, the figures for the 1929 summer session and the 1928–1929 extension year are given separately.}
