The widely varying nature of entrance requirements in different colleges make it impossible for them to take a fixed position at present. Such delineation of public secondary school attitude should be not merely definitive, but suggestive in form. Foremost within it should be a statement of what further advance in specific fields of study the secondary school would be prepared to exchange for a cut in the over-wide requirements...
