More Men Made Deans List In 1951-'52 Than in 1950-'51

More students made dean's list last year than in 1950-51, figures released by Registrar Kennedy's office indicated yesterday.

According to the figures, 39.4 percent of the College got into the top three groups, 2.2 percent rise over 1950-51's 37.2 percent.

Kennedy and other University Hall officials felt the draft scare may have had something to do with the rise.

There were also more men in Group IV--25.2 percent of the College, as compared with 24.2 percent in 1950-51. The 1951-52 enrolment was 300 men smaller than that in 1950-51--4400 as compared to 4700.

The figures continue a trend noted after the 1950-51 grades were tabulated. More men then made dean's list than at any time since the end of World War IL. Then, the College was full of veterans, who were thought to be more concerned with their studies than men of normal college age.

Draft Threat

With the draft still a real threat, it is expected that the trend will continue. Another factor is the greater number of men on scholarship in the College. Financial aid officials have found these men maintain a higher average than those who have no financial worries while at school.
