Data obtained from one of the 4-yr. colleges of the City University of New York showed 44.1% firstborns in the 1969 freshman class and 42.4% firstborns in the 1970 freshman class. The present findings were compared with earlier studies which reported 50 to 65% firstborns in college populations. In addition, the percentage of firstborns in all family sizes (omitting only children) was lower than that reported for earlier college samples
