Class of '59 Survey Puts Dunster On Top, Relates Academic Work to Graduate Study

Dunster House had the highest percentage of men planning immediate entrance into graduate school, the Student Placement Office survey of the Class of 1959 revealed.

The survey, compiled from data contributed by 951 seniors last spring, indicates a distinct correlation between class standing and post-college plans. Higher averages definitely tend to mark graduate school candidates.

Over half the seniors last May planned immediate graduate study, while 64 percent expected it eventually. Military service figured imminently in the prospects of one man in five, while one out of seven intended to start working soon after graduation.

Last year the University produced five Rhodes Scholars, two Marshall Scholars, and 16 recipients of Fulbright grants. A vast majority of the Fulbright applicants desired study in England, but the largest number of winners, four, picked Germany.
