the loyal ard enthusiastic services of
one of Vermont's best and most pro-

OUTLOOK FOR TIE STATE UNI
XERsITN.

VERsITY.
The advent of an executive thor
oughly imbued with the State unrver-
sity idea and alive to the grand posi-
hilities of the University of Vermont
and state agricultural college, has al
ready had a marked effect upon the
outlook for the institution, and appli.
cations for admission and inquiries
point to record-breaking class next
September.
The truth of the matter is that the
people of Vermont have not been kept
fully informed in relation to the pro-
gressive work and the genuine merit
of their state university. Occasion
ally one hears of a college talking
about the adoption of higher stand
| thing, as if the idea were something
new, whereas the state university
for years has been enforcing the same
standards as other leading New Eng
land institutions of learning.
The University of Vermont is a
member of the New England College
Entrance Certificate Board witch Is
composed of the high rank univerai-
ties and colleges of New England.
Thc rules Of this board are rigidly
enforced with the idea that an lnsti-
tuition can not afford to secure in
creased attendance at the expense of
standards of scholarship.
As matter of fact ONLY about one
fourth of the preparatory schools an
proved by the State beard of education
are endorsed by tho New England board
ana onlj the certificates f secondary
schools which have the enforcement of
this New England board are accepte
by the University of Vermont.
All applicants for admission to the
state university who have the certih-
Gates OF these LAST named institutions
are admitted without further require
ments but all other applicants are
compelled to pass entrance eXamina-
tons
1t is worthy of note in this conuo De-
ton that as high as thirty and forty
applicants have been rejected in i
single year by the University of Yer
mont, ANA IT Is equally significant thai
some of these very rejected applicants
have had no difficulty in getting intc
college elsewhere, as unfortunately
there stul exist institutions whicf
open the gates wide to merely in
crease numbers.
Under these circumstances it l.
easy TO understand why the state unr
versity has the approval Of the secrc
tary Of the Carnegie foundation az re
CARDS both it's conditions of admission
and It's requirements for graduation
Vermont has just reason to b
proud of its State university and (
