RANKING OF COLLEGE STUDENTS PUBLISHED

The new College rank list, showing the academic standing of every upper-classman in College on the basis of last year's work (with the exception of men who failed of promotion last June or were absent from their final examinations), was made public last night.

The publication of this list is one of the outstanding innovations of the new year at the University, and is all the more significant because it takes place upon the recommendation of the Scholarship Committee of the Student Council, which recently asked that college grades be made public as an incentive to a higher standard of scholarship.

The list arranges the members of the classes of 1922, 1923 and 1924 in six groups. The first group (Highest Distinction) and the second group (High Distinction) corresponded to the first and second groups of scholars as formerly published. The third group (Distinction) consists of men not eligible for the first two, but with an average of at least B. The fourth group (High Pass) includes men with grades averaging below B but above C; the fifth group (Pass) contains those whose average was C; the sixth group (Low Pass) consists of those whose average was below C but who nevertheless were promoted. The flat failures are not listed.

Thirty-six men won a place in group 1 as follows:

The purpose of the Student Council and the Faculty in making the complete rank list public is to give some recognition to men in the third and fourth groups whose College work is above the average but whose extracurriculum activities may have kept them out of the first two groups as well as to draw public attention to the records of those who have just managed to escape demotion but who drag down the general level of college scholarship. It is felt that the result will be beneficial to the men concerned and to the College as well.

The Student Council suggested the numerical ranking of all men in each class, but this plan was not found to be feasible. The Faculty therefore adopted the present plan as carrying out the spirit of the recommendation coming from the undergraduates themselves.

The list as published contains an index which makes it possible to look up any upper-classman in College and find out in what group he stands on the basis of his work last year
