THE DARTMOUTH TO FIND HOW COLLEGE USES TIME

After picking 200 men from the college catalogue by a random method The Dartmouth asked those men to keep a detailed account of how they spend their time and succeeded in collecting from them over a thousand accurately filled out daily time sheets which form a reliable sample of the college as a basis of calculating how the College spends its time. Mr. G. H. Tapley's class in Statistics in first year Tuck is tabulating the results at the present time.

In starting this investigation of time utilization, the first of its kind at Dartmouth. The Dartmouth has four main questions to which it seeks an answer. What is the typical day of the undergraduate? What differences are evident between the four classes? What is the correlation in amount of time spent upon studies and scholarship attained? What differences are evident between fraternity and non-fraternity men?
