WOMEN STUDENTS oUrRANK MEN
Some Significant Figures from Iowa
University,

IOWA CITY, Ia, June 1.-(Special Tele-
gram. .)-Judging from outward appearances
the women in the graduating class OF Iowa
university are superior to their male oom-
petitors in scholastic ability. OF fifteen
members of the senior class who were this
year elected to Phi Beta Kappa an honor
fraternity which bestows membership upon
nrteen students who rank Grst In class
average for the four years of their col
lege career. two-thirds were women. de-
spite the fact that over 90 per cent of
the entire class are men. In the opinion
or Dean Amos N. Currier of the College
OF Liberal Arts, however, this condition
cannot be taken to mean that the general
aDlllty or the women is superior to that
OF the men. He declares that under the
present system of free electives it is almost
impossible to compare two classes on a.
common basis, but in those studies in
which careful exact knowledge of a sub
Ject Is possible, the average female student
Is superior to the average male
Several reasons are advanced in explana-
ton OF the condition exposed by the in
Vestigation. As a general thing the men
OF the university have more interests out
side of the university than the goods. Not
only does the athletic life of the institution
form greater distraction, but by far a
larger percentage are engaged in earning
large share of their expenses, and the
time taken from their scholastic work In
believed to reflect in their class records.
