girls are more interested in upper classmen or graduate students. In the case of the Early Admission men, this difficulty in finding dates because of age extended beyond their first year, whereas in their older classmates the problem was usually solved by the time they were sophomores."

By junior year, Dr. Farnsworth and his colleagues found, the dating difficulty was surmounted and male Scholars had no further difficulties in getting dates. "Most Scholars during their junior and senior years, in the matter of dating, functioned on the level of their older classmates," they reported, "rather than that of the average freshmen who were their chronological age." Summing up, the Farnsworth team said it found "no evidence that these difficulties in dating in any way retarded their emotional development."

The psychiatrists found no other area in which the difficulties of the Scholar group were different from those of regular students either in kind or degree. They did note that the Scholars of unusually youthful appearance had a harder time making the needed social adjustment than those who appeared on casual observation to be of the usual college entrance age, and suggested that students who "look like youngsters" should be warned before being allowed to enter college early that they may encounter more difficulty than others.
