Observation:  In the immediate post-war years, Savannah State attracted about half the post-secondary college enrollment in coastal Georgia.   (Data is unavailable for 1944 and 1945.)  By the end of the century, SSU's share had declined to about 10%.  While the market for public higher education in the region grew greatly after the war, the greatest portion was absorbed by Georgia Southern University.
