Abstract

This is a study of graduates of the Utah State Agricultural College who have left Utah and are now residing elsewhere. Inquiries by faculty members and interested alumni, as well as the writer's own interest in the subject of migration, prompted the organization of this study.

The immediate reason for the inquiry was an enlarging interest on the campus concerning the present whereabouts of graduates who have left the state. When present residence was ascertained, other questions arose. What kind of employment had migrating graduates secured? What major interests were had? What important voluntary public services are graduates rendering to community and other organizations? What were the family backgrounds of graduates who left the state.

This study will not attempt to answer the question, why do graduates go to this or that state? To learn where people have moved in the past does not in itself indicate where other people should go in the future. The following pages deal only with what has happened, not with what should have happened or what should be done in the future.

This study attests the need for more adequate data. It is an item of social importance that an adequate record of graduate migration be retained. Existing materials can be turned to significant uses. The growing import of the problem of placement, and demands that future graduates be supplied with more adequate information than their predecessors.
