Nonorganization Student Leads
in the Race for Degree, Says
Deans Report

BERKELEY, Sept. 2s.-The Greek
letter societies of the men students of
the university were given an academic
jolt today in the scholarship report is
sued by Dean Lincoln Hutchinson, based
on the work done by the students. The
student, who was neither afiliated with
fraternity nor club during the last
year has done better work in the class
room and laboratory than the wearer
of the pin, the report declares. The
clubs come second in the scholarship
race with the frats in the rear, a poor
third.
OF the 35 fraternities and house
clubs, which Professor Hutchinson has
investigated, the first six in scholar
ship rank are clubs. The seventh is
a fraternity, as is the ninth, but be-
tween the eleventh and the end of the
list all are Greek letter societies ex-
cept three. The last on the list has
an average of 2S.24 as against 62.61
made by the highest club. The highest
fraternity has only 5243.
But the nonfraternity and nonclLc
student has a higher percentage of
scholarship, his rank being SAIL The

figured out all passed grades, and here
again the nonorganization man leads
in the race. The percentages are:

The figures, Professor Hutchinson de-
clared, are Slightly better than last

ment in scholarship.
