The sclcc,ivc Draft Mt Columbia

COLUMBIA COLLEGE has determined to
~ adopt Il new test for the admission of
applicants to its courses OF instruction. At
Il recent meeting of the faculty of the col
lego, representing the undergraduate depart
mcnt OF the university it was voted to apply
the principle OF the selectivc draft. by means
Of psychologist tests in determining the fit
ness Of applicants for admission to the stu
dent body, beginning with tho next school
year. The prime requirements for admis-
sion will be character, health and mental
Quickness, rather than mere book learning,
as in the past.
This departure from former standards of
admission is based the conclusion OF the
faculty that it is not worth while OH any
account for many applicants who can pass
examinations on school subjects to go through
college, since. in realization OF substantial
results expected OF such a course of training
it would amount to a more waste Of the
Students own time and that Of the college.
Hence. 1t is concluded that elimination OF
such applicants will be for the benefit OF all
concerned
The success Of such psychologist tests made
