McCall's Finds Harvard Boys 'Bright, Loose'

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A new survey of "college reputations" shows that Harvard students, in the eyes of their peers, are promiscuous, bright, attractive, and well-dressed. Radcliffe students are promiscuous, bright, unattractive, and sloppy-looking.

The survey was taken by McCall's magazine, which sent questionnaires to 97 college-newspaper editors last fall. The results are published in its March issue.

Harvard looms large to the insiders; it is mentioned in almost every category listed on McCall's questionnaire. The Harvard stereotype is a student destined to become successful, rich, and well-married. He edges out the Southwest Texas State student as most likely to become President of the United States.

The life of a Harvard man is good according to the survey, which McCall's describes as the "most through study of college reputations ever carried out." He is attractive to the "best wives" of Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley, unlike his near neighbors at M.I.T., called "the least attractive boys" in the nation.
