FB96 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS STATISTICS Boston College Fact Book, 1995-1996 Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: FEB 29 1996 ================================================================ NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown BELOW the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions on how to do this see the item "Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book or on the BC Fact Book home page.
