I also wish to thank my secretary, Brenda Forrester,and my research assistant, Byron Gibson, for their loyalty and perseverance in preparing the tables and typing the several drafts. In particular, I would like to express appreciation to Alan Kirschner, UNCF Vice President for Programs and Public Policy, for his many suggestions and careful review of preliminary drafts of the report.

In contrast, enrollments at all U.S. colleges and universities have grown at about half this rate during this period. * The enrollment of women has grown at a faster rate than that of men. Women comprised 59 percent ofthe enrollment atUNCF institutions in fal, 1989. * Newfreshman enrollments increasedto 14,374 in fall, 1989; freshman enrollments have increased by over 20 percent since 1985. * The number of bachelor's degree recipients increased to 5,099; professional and doctoral degree output also increased over the previous year, but the output of master's degrees declined by some 20 percent. * In 1987, over one-quarter of all bachelor's degrees awarded to black studentsin mathematics and the physicalsciences were conferred by UNCF colleges. * The percentage of full-time faculty members who held a doctoral degree exceeded 52 percent in fall, 1989, compared with 43 percent in fall, 1983. * The ma',-ket value of the colleges' endowment funds for the year ending June 30, 1989, exceeded $350 million.This figure is a gain of some 13 percent over the previous year and more than double the figure reported for fiscal year 1984. The average size of the endowment fund at a UNCF institution--$8.6 million--is, however, only about one-third as large as that found at other private four- year colleges. * Although about two-thirds of all undergraduate students received Pell Grants during 1988-89, the amount of student aid derived from this source accounted for only 25 percent of all student financial aid. In contrast, various loan programs accounted for nearly 40 percent of student aid dollars in 1988-89. Three-quarters of all loan funds were made available through the government's Stafford Loan (GSL) program. * Business continued as the most popular major for UNCF bachelor's degree recipients. About 30 percent of all bachelor's degrees were awarded in business. Degrees in business exceeded those in the .7..cond most popular field, education, by a margin of nearly four to one. / 8 * Although faculty salaries increased by an average of 6.2 percent over the previous year, these salaries trail those found at other private four-yer colleges.

At other four-year colleges the com- parable figures for 1989-90 were $46,830 and $24,000 respectively. * The cost for tuition & fees, room & board, and books & supplies increased by only 4.3 percent in 1989-90 over the previousyear. For a student living on-campus at a UNCF college, theseexpenses averaged $7,310; nationally at four-year private colleges,these expenses totaled $13,094, some 79 percent higher. * Students came to UNCF institutions from 48 states and theDistrict of Columbia.

Ttiese col:'...ges are a part of a larger group of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); together, these colleges constitute only about three percent of all colleges and universities in the U.S., but yetthey enrollabout 35 percent ofallAfrican-Americans attending four-year institutions; they graduate about 40 percent of all African-Americansreceiving bachelor's degrees. Ofthe 48 privately supported HBCUs,41 are member institutions of the United Negro College Fund. With theexception of Wilberforce, founded in 1856, and the Interdenominational Theological Center, founded in 1958, most of the UNCF member institutions were founded by religious societies from the North during the 35 year period followina the Civil War.
