...single man, who entered with the Senior class, has been dropped from the College at this time; 29 1-3 percent of the number dropped by class are those who entered with the class of 1914; 33 1-3 per cent are those who entered with the class of 1915; and 37 1-3 per cent are those who entered with the class of 1916. These figures show how men, deficient in their studies, are gradually weeded out until by the time of their Senior year there are few, if any, left...
...total of the number of volumes used in Gore Hall and of those loaned from the building during 1911-12 was 83.386. This record shows a falling off of more than 19 percent when compared to the figures for 1908-09, and is the lowest total reached during the preceding seven years.

Again, sixteen and five-tenths percent. of the men who entered under the old plan received honor grades (A or B), as against thirty per cent. of the men who entered under the new plan. Most striking of all, perhaps, is the fact that ninety-one per cent. of the men who entered under the new plan were reported at the mid-years as having done a satisfactory half-year's work in English, that is, as receiving grade C, or better; but against this ninety-one per cent. of new plan men doing satisfactory work appears the fact that...
