Coeds And Marriage
The American girl marries
when she pleases and whom she
pleases. This year there will be
about 1.8 million marriages in the
United States. Some 220,000
brides will utter fervent “I do's”
during June. And the majority
of them will be teen-agers. Their
grooms will be only slightly older.
Surveying marriage trends, the
Population Reference Bureau,
Washington, D. C., issued a hot
tip for worried parents who hope
that their daughters will stop,
look and listen before taking an
impulsive plunge into matrimony:
Get her into college fast!
On the average, a college
. . . Approximately 596,300 stu
dents make up the college class
of 1964. Approximately 38 per
cent are women.
. . . Women will receive almost
40 percent of the bachelor’s and
first professional degrees, a third
of the master’s degrees, but only
11 percent of the doctoral de
grees.
. . . Marriage has been woven
firmly into the fabric of campus
life since the GI first invaded
college campuses after World
War II. The mothers and fathers
of today’s graduates would have
been expelled from most colleges
a generation ago had they mar-
(Another 13 percent of the June
graduates expect to marry before
the summer is over.)
. . . Four out of five of the
married graduates are men. The
dearth of women reflects in part
the fact that many coeds who
marry drop out of college to
bolster the family exchequer,
often making it possible for their
husbands to graduate.
Marriage Age
. . . The most frequent age at
marriage for women college
graduates is 22 years; for high
school graduates 18 years, and
for women who did not attend
ates have jobs, according to the
Bureau of the Census. In 1960,
42 percent of the married college
graduates were employed and
only 32 percent of the married
high school graduates.
... A college degree is a pass
port to better jobs. The 1960
Census reported that of all women
with an income only 6 percent
received more than $5,000.
Twenty-four percent of women
college graduates had an income
of over $5,000, as did 45 percent
of those who had completed some
graduate work.

. . . The 1960 Census also re
vealed that in 3 percent of all
American families, both husbands
and wives had college degrees.
Women were more “degree
conscious” than men, however.
Six out of every 10 men gradu
ates chose wives with degrees.
Four out of 10 of the men married
women who had no college train
ing.
. . . Since 1949, the number of
women who graduate from college
each year has nearly doubled, in
creasing from 117,900 to 224,400,
That the number of men has in
creased by only 23 percent can
he mainly attributed to the dis
appearance of G.I.’s from college
campuses.
. . . The college dropout ratio
is the same for both sexes: four
out of every ten who enter.
Among the women, marriage is
most frequently given as the
reason for leaving school.
18 19 20 21
. . . Approximately one-third
of all who receive bachelor’s and
first professional degrees in June
expect to go on to graduate
school, and a majority will be
men.
Marriage Rate
In 1950, when the U. S. popu
lation was 151 million, the mar
riage rate was 11.0 per thousand;
and there were 1.7 million mar
riages during the year. In June
1964, the population is 191 mil
lion; the 1964 marriage rate is
expected to be between 9 and 9.5
per thousand—a slight increase
over the 8.8 rate for 1963. The
rate has been inching up again
for several months, and this trend
J | 1 L

AGE
is expected to continue. Marriages
for 1964 are expected to total
about 1.8 million, as compared
with 1.6 million in 1962 and 1.65
million in 1963.
Brides and grooms in the U. S.
are younger and closer in age at
first marriage than are those in
any other major urban-industrial
country in the world. Our age-
at-marriage pattern now is closer
to the Asian than to the Euro
pean.
More women marry at 18 than
at any other age; and more men
at 21.
Implications
Students of population have
long recognized that education
26 27 28 29
POPULATION REFERENCE BUREAU. INC
affects time of marriage and fer
tility. Commenting on the cur
rent trends, Robert C. Cook,
President of the Population Ref
erence Bureau, said: “The average
age at marriage has been declin
ing in the United States over the
past fifty years. Today, the
modal age of marriage—the most
frequent age at which women get
married—is 18. Girls who gradu
ate from high school tend to
marry somewhat later, though the
marrying high school student is
no longer a rarity. Girls who
attend college marry considerably
later than those who do not. This
is true even though a goodly
number of coeds marry before
they graduate.
