Students Admitted Without Examinations Making Good

One hundred thirty-two students admitted without examination under an experimental plan of the Progressive Education Association are doing "no worse" than other groups, according to Dean Chamberlain, assistant dean of freshmen at Dartmouth who is surveying the work of these men for the Association.

Comparison of the records of the 67 who entered last year under the plan with a cross-section of those admitted by examination reveal an almost equal showing for the two groups. Eleven men from the experiment made the Dean's List to every eight from the regular group.

Colleges cooperating in the plan, in addition to admitting without examination, have also agreed to relax the 15 unit requirement. No decision can be made on the success of this move until elaborate data is compiled over a period of several years.
