But the inference, immediately drawn in many quarters, that such a system would mark a salutary step forward in other liberal arts colleges, is not very soundly based. For among the chief implications of personalized admission is an increased flexibility in standards. If this purpose were not in the background, admission rules and a selective system need not be mutually exclusive, for inflexible standards might be applied and a personal...
