Prof. ematics department, at the er of the American Associa Las compiled statistics which raduate schools combined is 8-49 fall term. that individual averages of he various schools depend slightly pon the severity or leniency of he grading. Averages in the individual chools read from the report like is: Arts and Sciences: 4.54. This 'gure marks the lowest average f all the schools. This can be Kplained by the fact that most udents, as freshmen, are en >lled in arts and sciences and also y the fact that many students ho have not decided yet to enter specialized school, and continue i a general arts and science cur culum. In Business Administration: 21. This figure is an over-all one, icluding accounting, economics, !tailing, and secretarial science. he accounting average is 4.28; :onomics, 4.47; retailing, 3.99; ,id secretarial science, 3.16. Education has the highest grade ierage: 2.83. This may be ex ained largely by the leniency of 'ading in that school; as the re >rt infers, there are no sevens, failures, passed out over there. here must be another explana :)n. Physical Education. excepting ysical training: 3.32. Another gh average. In Engineering things look rosy, o; 3.86. This seems incompre mnsible considering slide rules, ansits, stress, strains, and other ental hazards. Journalism: 3.83. The fourth es te does all right. Naval Science: 4.15. Another hool with ponderous subject atters. Could be that severity is e word here. Finally, Pharmacy: 3.89. Also udable. dpha Sigma Sigma lembers To Select Iray Queen Today Members of Alpha Sigma Sigma are urged by the presi dent, Anne Davis, to attend a special meeting at 5 p. m., to day in front of Maxcy monu meat.
