COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP
March 1916

Non-fraternity men again led the fraternity men in scholarship, according to statistics of the second semester of 1914-15 compiled by H. M. Tibbetts, Registrar of the College. In comparison with the preceding second semester, however, the fraternity average increased 1.71 points, while the non-fraternity men improved their standing 1.91.

For the second semester of 1913-14, Kappa Sigma led the local chapters with a standing of 72.66. The fraternity average was 68.00, the non-fraternity, 71.89, and the College, 70.00. In 1914-15, Sigma Phi Epsilon led the fraternities during the second semester, with Kappa Sigma second. The fraternity average was 69.71, non-fraternity 73.80, and college 71.00.

The single deduction which can be made with any degree of accuracy is that the chapters founded latest at Dartmouth apparently preserve better scholarship standing than their older associates. In the second place, it is apparent that the general campaign for better scholarship is having some effect, in both fraternity and non-fraternity groups.
