weighing of several types of evidence. With this in mind, the Fund and the participating colleges arranged to have several types of evidence gathered and analyzed for this report.

One type concerns the extent to which the Scholar participates voluntarily in "extra-class" activities, such as organized sports, dramatics, student publications, social clubs and other activities involving group participation and opportunities for leadership. Another consists of the seasoned opinion of experienced members of the college staff who have had an opportunity to observe the Scholars in various situations over a period of time. These faculty members were asked to appraise the over-all adjustment of the Scholars at the end of freshman year and again at the end of senior year.

Still another type of evidence was obtained from essays written by the 1951 and 1952 Scholars and Comparison students just before graduation and analyzed by Richard Pearson. Finally, there are the findings and conclusions of the team of trained psychiatrists, headed by Dr. Dana Farnsworth, who made an independent appraisal of the 1951 Scholars' social and emotional adjustment and a special analysis of the cases of Scholars who for one reason or another dropped out of their original college before graduation.
