Abstract
Among American college students, suicide stands second to accidents as a cause of death. Such an alarming factor prompts researchers to find critical antecedents of suicide and possibly make recommendations for dealing with the problem. Studies conducted at colleges throughout the nation indicate that early loss of father through death or physical absence, sex, race, religion, class standing differences, concern over academic sufficiency, high parental educational levels, etc., were among the possible determinants of suicidal behavior. However, very little patterning has been established to identify the suicidal risk beforehand.
