has just been made public.
The publication OF this list Is one Of
the outstanding innovations of the new

recently asked that college grades be
made public as an incentive to q higher
standard OF scholarship.
The list arranges the members OF the
classes of 1922. 1928 and 1924 In six
groups. The first group (Highest Dis
tlnction) and the second group (High
Distinction) corresponds to the first and
second groups of scholars as formerly

tion) consists of men not eligible for
the first two, but with an average of at
least p. The fourth group (High Pass)
includes men with grades averaging be-
low B but above C: the fifth group
(Pass) contains those whose average
was C: the sixth group Glow Pass)
consists of those whose average was
below c but who nevertheless we're pro-
moted. The flat failures are not listed.

The purpose of the student council and
faculty in making the complete rank list
public Is to give some recognition tc
men in the third and fourth groups
whose college work Is above the aver
age but whose cxtra-curriculum activi-
ties may have kept them out of the first
two groups. as we'll as TO draw public
attention to the records OF those who
hs just managed to escape demotior
bu. who drag down the general level Of
college scholarship. II Is felt that tho
result will be beneficial to the men con-
cerned and to the college as we'll
The student council suggested the nu-
merical ranking OF all men In each class
but this plan was not found TO be fcas-
ible The faculty therefore adopted tho
present plan as carrying out the spirit
of the recommendation coming from the
undergraduates themselves

dex which makes Il possible to look W
