...absorbing a smaller percentage of additional recruits than the nation. (It has been shown, incidentally, that despite a doubling of college enrollment in recent years the average I.Q. has not fallen). Part of the improvement must be associated with the enlightened admission and scholarship policies carried out by the Conant-Buck and the Pusey-Bundy regimes. Messrs.
