NOTE.-The 222 graduates of the Class of 1924 are distributed as follows: Five-year, 14;
Four-year, 124; Three-year, 84.
Only 25 per cent of those admitted were graduated. Yet, provided the
standards of promotion were maintained, this is a record that compares
favorably with similar institutions in the United States. To read the
summary, however, does not tell the whole story, for the record is very
different for the several divisions. In examining statements following,
it must be remembered that whereas the Colleges of Medicine and Law
receive their students from the sophomore year of the College of Liberal
Arts after the poor students have been fairly well eliminated, the
Colleges of Liberal Arts and Engineering receive theirs directly from the
high schools.
