Statistics compiled by the CRIMSON and published yesterday indicate that the New England States with their famous secondary schools are far from producing proportionately the greatest number of men of college distinction. Nominally, the statistics show the Southern States with a percentage of 32 per cent. to lead the list of men of distinction. These figures, however, must be discounted.

There are innumerable instances to prove that a man may pass admission examinations to college without having ever experienced the sensation of having a thought of his own; he can buy the thoughts he needs at so much per hour.
