With so many students on campus 24 hours a day, the educational experience at Saint Peter's is richer. Enrollment has increased but hardly at the expense of academic quality. That number increased to 2,063 in 1997. Nine of 409 freshman students in 1992 had SAT's of 1200 or higher. Fifty of this year's freshman class of 614 scored higher than 1200 in their SAT's.
Endowment makes the successful achievement of any college's mission that much easier.
We have begun to make progress in the establishment of scholarships, planned giving and other ways to grow the endowment. I hope this information shows that Saint Peter's has made significant progress during the years 1990 through 1998. We have ambitious plans for the next eight years.
