Sensible College Requirements

Aimed at co-operation with prep schools that are doing original work in improving methods of teaching, Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges announced last week the alteration of entrance requirements to admit without examination graduates ranking in the upper seventh of their class from thirty progressive schools throughout the country.

For the past dozen years applicants for admission to Harvard's freshman class have been required, heretofore, to take the entrance board examinations.

Past procedure was further liberalized by the admission of graduates of those selected schools who failed to get in the upper seventh upon the passing of an ex in English and any three subjects taken in the senior year, instead of the previously specified studies.

This attention by the two colleges to high school curriculum should be encouraging to students of the Farm who can remember the little constructive attention, impersonal as it was, paid by the universities to the list of courses in the prep school. It should serve as a further incentive to those secondary schools which are enterprising enough to experiment in new and more complete courses. --Stanford Daily.
