DO HIGH-MARK MEN WIN?
Statistics Seem to Prove That The,
Dc.


Professor Edwin G. Dexter of the
University of Illinois "a graduate OF
Brown in the class of '91), has been
| studying the subject of high-grade
men in college and afterward, and in
the Popular Science Monthly presents
in an interesting way, his conclusions
He frankly admits that the statistical
method which he has used is faulty
but he adds that the results attained
by means of it are sin accord with
our general belief of what should be. "
In other words, the man who takes
high rank in college is more likely
than his low-grade. fellow to achieve
what the world recognizes as success.
Lacking a better criterion, Pro-
lessor Dexter has taken membership
in the Phi Beta Kappa society as the
equivalent of high standing in college
For an indication of success in after
life he has fallen back on who's
Who in America" the excellent
biographical dictionary of living
Americans who have won a title, sub
stantial or tenuous, as the case nav
be, to fame. 1t is not necessary to
cite the precautions Professor Dexter
has taken against unfair generaliza-
tions; suffice it to say that his con-
illusions appear to be justified by the
painstaking means employ ed, in so
far, of course, as any conclusions
based on similar statistics may be.
What, then, are these conclusions?
In twenty-five colleges, where the
Phi Beta Kappa society has been in
existence at least twenty years, the
average percentage of men elected to
the society is 1877, while the per-
centage of Phi Beta Kappa men
among the college men included in
who's Who" is 1913. That is. about
one-sixth of the Undergraduate in the
colleges referred to are elected to
the scholarship society, so that if the
high-grade man achieved success in
after life equally with his low-grade
classmate we should expect to find
one-sixth of all the. college men in
who's Who" also members of Phi
Beta Kappa. We do find, however
NANS dbly IIIOIS tudH
belong to that society.
TINS is not an absolute test-Pro-
fessor Dexter would be the last to
assert so much for it-but it is valu-
able and confirmatory. 1t is valuable
because it gives us at least some
basis for resenting the familiar slurs
about the dig" and the grind" who
are never heard of after graduation;
and it is confirmatory of what, deep
in our hearts, we have, most of us,
felt all along-that the endeavor to
excel in the intellectual life of under
graduate days should be and usually
is followed by tangible accomplish
ment in later years. There are so
many exceptions that we are some
times in danger of forgetting the rule.
But the rule exists, nevertheless.
