STATISTICS OF DROPPED STUDENTS

The total number of students dropped from the College as a result of the 1913-14 mid-year examinations is 44. As was the case last year, no Seniors were compelled to leave on account of deficiency in their studies. Of the total number dropped, eight or 18 2-11 per cent were ranked Juniors; sixteen or 36 4-11 per cent were classified as Sophomores; thirteen or 29 6-11 per cent were Freshmen; five or 11 4-11 per cent were ranked as unclassified; one or 2 3-11 per cent was enrolled as Out of Course; and one was a Special Student.

Unfit Dropped by the Way.

These figures show that unfit students are weeded out gradually year by year, and that if one can remain in College up to his Senior year, he will by that time have acquired habits of study sufficient to enable him to remain in College at the very least.

Last year only 31 men were dropped as a result of the 1912-13 mid-year examinations and it is interesting to note how much more evenly the number was divided among the three lower classes. Last year 29 1-3 per cent of the total number dropped were ranked Juniors; 33 1-3 per cent were Sophomores; and 37 1-3 per cent were Freshmen.
