From the second of these cOnclu-
SionS-that il does make il great diff
ference whether a young man has or
has not been a good student at col
lege-there is no room for dissent;
and this not only because the Stats
tics are themselves conclusive, but
have been regal ded as established as
a result OF common observation. on
the part of practically everybody en-
titled to an opinion. 1t may be. as
President Lowell says. thar there is
Il popular prejudice in favor OF the
opposite view-lhe view that poor
student at college is as likely as a
good one to be success in profes-
slOnal work; but like the similar
prejudice to the effect that prccocious
children are likely to be stupid or
commonplace adults, and that the
children OF men of genius are not
likely 10 be much more gifted than
those of ordinary persons. it has
never rested on any respectable basis
of fact, but has on the contrary been
in manifest contradiction 10 facts OBJ
vious to any intelligent and unpreju-
diced observer.
To the popular prejudice on this
4 V,l,
ius" may be regarded as having given
the coup de grace nearly half Il cen
tury ago; and the figures adduced by
President Lowell should go far toward
removing such fImisapprehension as
may exist on the subject OF the rela
| ton between creditable record of
scholarship at college and like rec
ord in professional studies. Thus the
| figures show that OF men who simply
got plain degree at college only G.6
per cent succeeded in getting cum
| llaude at the law school. while this
success was attained by 22.7 per cent
of those who, at college, had gradu
ated cum ,iaude. by 39.2 per cent of
those who had won a magma cum
laude, and by 64.7 per cent OF the
| summa cum laude men. AS the Statis-
tics cover twenty years, and more
than a thousand men, this is Il pretty
conclusive case of concomitant varia-
lions.
