Women and Athletes Lead Other

Champaign, Ill.-That athletes of
the University Of Illinois rank higher

In their class work is the interesting
fact discovered by Professor T. A..
Clark. dean of men, after reviewing
an average of the grades of every
student at the Champaign Urbana
branch Of the university. This same
investigation shows that the goods
rank 4 per cent higher in their studies
than men and further that the average

members Is not quite up to the stand

To get this information Dean Clark

students grades for both semesters
was averaged according to the num-
Der of hours taken in the subjects.
Thus record of more than 1900 stu
dents was obtained, an average in
general made and then the special
classes of students considered were
compared with this general average.
For the general average of the three
thousand men students the figures
were Sill for the first semester and
St.31 for the second semester. or a
general average of S1,21 for the year
The seven hundred or more goods
averaged 1904 the first semester and
$500 the second semester, or $3.50 for
the entire year
All the members of the football

ball squads were counted in the list
of athletes. The two hundred or more

Interesting Story of How New York

wheat fields of the far west are gen

A LenoX farmer, George w. Fer

bushels of winter wheat from ten and
seven-tenths acres of land and sold
the wheat in Pittsfield market for
$3.50 bushel The wheat is to be
used as seed wheat. so clean and per-

ARE HIGH IN STUDY

other interesting discovery Is that the
athletes did a per cent better work
the semester they were most actively
engaged in athletics than during the
semester in which they we're not. An
exception in this, however, was found
in the baseball squad, which on ac-
count of numerous trips, as well as
long practice periods. naturally fell
down in their class work.
Commenting on this, Dean Clark
says: you can't quite say that an
athlete necessarily breaks. down in
his college studies. This may be true
of other colleges, because ] really
think we look after things more care
fully than they do at some institu-
tons"
Fraternity men we're discovered to
be slightly lower than the average
young mans ranking and the liter
airy society members much higher
than the average. 1t was also discov.
cred that the fraternity men who took
the most interest in the general uni
versity affairs had the highest aver
ages, and that the fraternity men
least interested in general college
matters were the poorest fraternity
students, thus disproving the general
claim made by some fraternity men
that they have too many other inter
ests besides their class work
The sorority young women, gener.
ally speaking. were found to compare
in about the same proportion to the
grand total as did the men. The local
clubs and sororities showed about the
same as the fraternities and sorori.
