"But thy increased cost of pdueatlen has brought borne te thp (eIIpsps mil universities, the fact that thrtr rwiuni". however larsPi arp net unlimitpd, n'l that indctinlte expansion Is lmp ill; without deterioration in the qualit et our education. "There is no well-tried and mipcts ful formula for the .selection of tbep who shall be admitted. At Swarthmore we are using' the data avoided by school record, or entrnuca examinations, and along with this personal ietenlcws, and we are, nt the came time, making sonic Mudy of psychological tests by ap plying them regularly te our fresh wan clashes after they are admitted, though we have never made any use of them ns a basis of admission and de net contemplate doing te in the ' near future. Tick Only the l?.t Qualified "We arc committed t the pninnn that, since our enrollment is limited ij statute and sin.e n huv" hail ilu jcar four or five tinips as many appli- ' rants for admission as we can take, we should admit only tl:ec siuiluits who lire in our opinion besr qualified ti make use of the opportunities provided ty the college. "One paragraph of a repent editorial In the Kvkm.ne I'mmc I.uh.ki; sajr.s: The whole tendency is toward keep ing the duller youth out of the rol rel Iprcs. It ought te be icversed. The colleges should be open te youth of all social grade, previdpd they are able . te keep up with their classes.' ' "We should disagrfe with the firt part of that paragraph nnd agree whh the latter part. We de net want dull students at Swarthmore for the simple reason that they cannot keep up wiih their claes. Wc de want students of nil social grades, nnd we provide schol arship help te enable thee from poorer , .families te enjoy the same educational facilities as these who come from well-to-de families. , 'While we want all the social grades at Swarthmore, we nre net prepared te rare for students of all degrees of intellect nnd ambition. Instead we try te select from all these who apply fur admission in any one year the individu als of the highest character, strongest Intellect and the keenest ambition. "Wp bplieve at Swarthmore that mic repsful selection must be based en character ns well n upon intellectual attainments. That does net ni'-nn that geed character would atone for stupid ity, provided that combination e-ni'd n't be found in the same indiuilu.il. It does mean that we insist upon a hijii character qualification as well as h'gh lntcUectul standard.
