VOTE AGAINST CANDIDATES OF LOW SCHOLASTIC RANK

Supplementing its vote of three years ago, by which admission to College by special certificate is granted to applicants for admission whose average for four years of preparatory school work places them in the first quarter of their class, the faculty of Dartmouth College has approved and passed a recommendation from the Committee on Admission that standing in the lowest quarter of his preparatory school for four years shall cause the candidate for admission to be regarded unfavorably.

It is explained that this vote, though not necessarily' to be invariably applied, because of varying standards in secondary schools, is intended in general to emphasize more strongly in the College and in the schools the present policy of raising requirements for entrance and for graduation.
