FOREWORD



The Boston College Fact Book is a summary of significant

statistics gathered from various sources throughout the

University. Once again, we wish to extend sincere thanks and

appreciation for the excellent cooperation and assistance

received from these many sources.



The purpose of the Fact Book is to produce a single-source

publication and reference document that touches upon and

integrates all aspects of the institution s people and its

operations. We do wish to point out to all users that the

information presented herein was compiled at a specific time --

July through November, 1994 -- to reflect the Academic Year

1993-94, as well as the most current enrollment statistics for

Fall 1994.



The majority of the information is extracted from management

reports produced on a regular basis by the various source

offices. When reviewing the figures presented we advise you

always to note the time frame referenced in the individual

tables, and to contact responsible offices (noted at the bottom

of each table) should you have further questions.



With this 23rd edition, we continue our efforts to produce a

Fact Book that provides both current information and an

historical perspective. We welcome your comments and suggestions

for additional information that might be included or

improvements in the way information is presented.
