Have Ninth Annual Dinner
= HD students OF the Barnard School

IT HID students OF the Barnard School
for Boys, New York city. were
brought face to face last week
with the newest test for entrance into
college. the psychological examination.
This intelligence test, which has been
adopted by Columbia University as an
alternate plan for college entrance and
has been used with great success In the
army, was given by Miss Barrows, n
psychology specialist now at Teachers
College. Columbia, and associated with
the department OF psychology there.
The members of the two highest classes
in the upper school who intend to enter
any college were put through the test
in order that they might understand Its
technique and that their mental pre-
paredness might be accurately ascer-
tanned. The results were interesting and
highly instructive. The boys entered
fully into the spirit Of the quiz and
on the whole scored largely.
Interest in Barnard's share in the
war was increased this last week by
the receipt OF a copy OF tho order Of
Gen. Petain citing Lieut.. Allen Talley.
an old Barnard boy, who made his
supreme sacrifice in the storming Of the
Blanc Mont Ridge in the Argonne region.
The citation ran:
