The intercut in the story Is the manner in which six Uvea were thrown together so closely in such a short time. The cast is unsurpassable, with Edmund Lowe. Lola Moran.

E Friky and th* office of the rigs- trar, ia the compiling and compar ing of the results ef all tests many interesting facts, useful in the handling of Students, have re- sulted from th* interpretation of the data. 1$ aj summary of ths freshman grad.-g for th* last five years, it wap found that of those having grale between 70 and 90, there A’#, 89% 8% «% Ca, and 30% E'a. The class between 46 anl 60, ran 30% B’a 38% Ca* 8% D’a, and E’a. Thu shows th* re lationship that the examination has to the type of school work \ chance* of those whose grades are below 30, are vpry poor; those between 30 and 40, are those from 40 to 60, are fair; from 66 to ri6VJhave good me< Hp 9% jA'AS 1 Err chances, and from 66 to 80. the chances are egoeBent. For this year, 34% of the class had an av erage of 56 6r above. A A M scorch compare very fav orably with thdpt of other state in stitutions over the country. Large privately endowed schools as Chi cago, Harvard, and Brown, have higher scores, because of their sel ective system from the upper half of the applying classes. The system b a very interesting and practical one, and is being em ployed by the leading universities. Simibrity of the results in the many hundreds of cases hsv<< made it possible to act with certainty on the outcome of the examine tfcm. The psychological tests here, as in may other institutions using H, are employed, te discover to whai extent the scores made on the test are related to the quality of col lege work; and to aid in the diag nosing of U)* student needs, par- ticulaijy those failing in their studies. The results serve as a gui dance in the selection of courses, the amount of student load to be permitted, and the remedy for those failing in their courses Raaday morning. Colonel Nelson's remark at yell practice the ether night that this was hb fifth and last ysar at A. and M. makes some of us old boys feel good. If it takes the “Bu!! fives years to go through thi* place why should we worry. To some of us we wbh it took only five years to graduate.
