Second-Year Students At Business School Better June Standing

Members of the Business School class of 1952 fared much better on their January grades than they did last June, Registrar Helen Eastman said yesterday. They had .5 percent Unsatisfactory (E) as opposed to 2.7 percent in June: 5.3 percent earned Distinction (A) against 4 percent at the end of the first year.

They also surpassed the class of 1951, receiving half as many Unsatisfactories, .5 compared to 1 percent, and 7.7 percent more Passes, 61.9 to 54.2. On the other hand, '51 had more High Passes, 28.3 to 24.

The Business School gives five grades. Distinction means 85 percent or over, High Pass 79 to 84, Pass 72 to 78, and Low Pass 65 to 71. Below 65 percent is Unsatisfactory. The highest mark ever recorded in the Business School is 93 percent.

The grades for the class of 1953 are already distributed to the students, but the percentages and breakdowns will not be issued until later this week.
