Professor Ellworth Hunt ington found that the most success lul have three times as many chill dren as the least successful. In un- dergraduate studies and non-ath- letic activities outside the class room. members of large families decidedly excel, and success in life is almost equally correlated with success in studies and student ac- tivities outside of athletics.
