SOCIAL DARLINas AT COLLEGE

ing Its doors to graduates Of public
tighschools is having good results.
For years this university, with Col.
umbia, Yale and Princeton, stood firm
against the certificate entrance sys.
tem,now common Throughout the west,
and insisted on examination for all
candidates. In June, 1911 It adopted
a new alternative System which re-.
dueed' the number OF examinations
to four and permitted the previous
school record TO be taken into consld.

The chief object of the new scheme
was to free Harvard from It's depend.
ence on the private fitting schools Of
New England and TO make it possible
for the graduates OF the public high
schools, especially Of the west TO en-,
ter. That 1t acompllshes this object
and at the same time does not lower
the standard OF entrance requirements
Is shown by the fact that under the
new rules more were refused admis-
sion than under the old. Under the
Old plan $40 per cent OF the candidates
