In a service set up at the Coll
ege, Dr. C. R. Adams, associate
professor of education and phy
chology, finds that he can tell a
true love case and predict the pro
bable success of the marriage by
,statistical curves.
The "marriage clinic," believed
to be the first on any college cam
pus in ,the country, serves 200 to
300 unmarried couples and helps
straighten out the domestic tang
teS of approximately 50 married
couples a year.
When a Couple comes to

damS giVes them the Terman pre
diction test for Marital happines
and the Adams-Lepley personal
audit test for personality traits. If
scores are low; .he supplements
these with the Burges.T-Cottrell
marital prediction scale.
Statistical curves are plotted
from the scores, and if the curves
'follow each other closely it is a
true love case. If- the' scores fail
to plot well; the attraction is pro
bably on a physical . basis only
and won't last too long. However,
personal factors such as length of
acquaintance, length of engage
ment, economic status, and age are
also considered. ,
