cance and deserve careful consideration. 

 When we remember that seven adjacent states 

 have not a single one of these men within 

 their borders, it is not a small thing for insti- 

 tutions such as the University of North Caro- 

 lina or Goucher College to have two of them. 

 We may well ask why Pennsylvania should 

 compare so unfavorably with Yale, or Minne- 

 sota with Wisconsin. 



Among the non-teaching institutions there 

 is the same direct correlation between the men 

 added and dropped. Institutions which have 

 a good record in one case have it also in the 

 other. It seems almost incredible that it 

 should be possible to measure the efficiency 

 with which an institution is conducted by 

 such simple means, yet the differences can not 

 be attributed to chance. The Carnegie Insti- 

 tution has the largest gains, though in view of
