HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
There are increasing evidences that the Old Plan system of admission to college is unsatisfactory. The recent report of the Commission on English, which is to be followed in a few weeks by a more detailed study, lends new weight to this contention. Although incomplete at the moment, the analysis has found that both the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Comprehensive Examinations are more valuable indices of a student's calibre than the Old Plan.
By the same token the Scholastic Aptitude Test offers far better criteria on a man's capacity than the New Plan. This is probably of more significance than the first point, for it indicates that the intelligence of a student can better be judged by a mental test than by a carefully prepared examination on the subjects that are drilled into him by secondary schools.
