HAVERFORD CLASS
RATED BRIGHTEST
Results of Psychology Tests
Given Freshmen in 152 COL
Ieges Announced.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some idea of the comparative bright
ness of the freshmen who entered vari-
GUS educational institutions last Fall is
contained in a tabulation of the results
of the American Council on Education's S
psychological examination just issued
for 152 of the 377 colleges which
gave it.
Haverford College, Haverford, Pa, led
with a median gross score of 241.67.
Only three other institutions scored
above 200. They were Wells College,
Aurora, N. Y, 1889; Dartmouth Col
lege, Hanover, N. H., 206.67, and Uni
versity of Chicago, 202.21. Goucher Col
lege, Baltimore, scored 1900.
Some significant differences in some
of the separate tests are shown for men
and women On the completion test
the women make slightly higher scores
than the men. On the artificial Ian
guage test the women do considerably
better, with a median score los higher
than the men.
On the analogies test there is no diff
ference between the performances Of
the two groups.
On the arithmetic test the men do
considerably better than the women,
the difference In median scores being
nine points. On the opposites test the
difference Is slightly In favor of the
women.
The scores of the five tests are SO
weighted that they can be combined
into a gross score for the whole exami-
nation. The tabulation just issued is
on reports of Al, 1863 students When
all institutions have reported the total
is expected to contain ,341 students
scores. The tests in previous years
have proven of value in predicting the
success of students in their college
studies.

In their national capacity, above all

to the royal household and the conse-

Thomas Washington, an uncle of the
founder Of the American family, was
attached to the court of Charles /,
which gave the family a secure social
standing in England. He accompanied
his sovereign to Spain, where he died
and was buried on the grounds of the
British embassy. A brother of Thomas,
and father of the man who fed to
America, was Rev. Lawrence Wash

the old Weems biography, published
shortly after Washington's death.

COURAGE, physical and moral, was
~ q part of his nature; and, whether
in battle or in the midst of popular
excitement, he was fearless Of danger
and regardless of consequences to him
self. (Sparks, Jared-The Life Of
George Washington, p. 458)
At all times and amid all conditions
Washington rang true to the note of
splendid manhood. Hypocrisy and a
trafiicking In expedients for popular
applause no more match with his life
than the crime of murder. He had
little Of the captivating style Of speech
or manner but regard for the
nobility of his character, rather
than any rhetorical art or charm
OF personal address on his part,
kept wavering lines from retreat In
battle and from mutiny amid privation
and suffering to which our neglect had
exposed the soldiers Of the Revolution.

the Words of Washington, p. 12a

His Personal Triumph
Then came the horrors of Valley
Forge and of the winters in Morris
county. Those were the days when
assertions were many and enlistments
were few, when Washington dared not
give open battle and there was hardly
left to him a place for retreat. Then
came the Conway conspiracy, and the
ambition of Gates, and the cowardice
Of Lee and the treason of Arnold, and
series of prosecutions so petty, so
bitter, SO malignant, that 1t is amaz-
ing how Washington survived them.
Then, too, came defeats like that at
Brandywine, and battles of uncertain
meaning like that at Monmouth. 4.
1t is easy for US as we read these
events in the light of the issue to keep
up our courage and understand the
triumph that finally came, but it was
a very different thing for Washington.
Congress was weak, meddlesome, and
vacillating. The soldiers were raw,

There is a life that is worth living
now, as it was worth living in the for
mer days, and that is the honest life,
the useful life, the unselfish life,
cleansed by devotion to an ideal.
There is battle that is worth fight
ing now, as it was worth fighting then,
and that is the battle for justice and
equality. To make our city and our
state free in fact as well as in name
to break the rings that strangle real
liberty, and to keep them broken; to
cleanse, so far as in our power lies,
the foundations of our national life
from political, commercial, and social
corruption; to teach our sons and
daughters, by precept and example, the
honor of serving such country as
America-that Is work worthy of the
finest manhood and womanhood. :.
The well educated are those who see
deepest into the meaning and the ne
cessity Of that work. Nor shall their
labor be for naught, nor the reward
of their sacrifice fail them. For high
in the armament of human destiny are
set the stars of faith in mankind, and
unselfish courage, and loyalty to the
ideal; and while they shine, the Amer
icanism Of Washington and the men
who stood with him shall never, never
die. (Van Dyke. Henry-The Ameri-
