more than one year. Two of the Comparisons received special honors at graduation, and two were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Of the class entering in 1952, 12 Scholars were named on the Dean's list, nine of them for more than one year. Nine of the Comparison students were so honored, seven in more than one year.

One member of the 1951 Scholar group at Yale was made Class Orator, was awarded the highest academic prize which the University can bestow on an undergraduate, and was also awarded a fellowship for study in England upon graduation. Yale reported that in the opinion of the student body, as well as of the faculty of the college, he was considered the outstanding student in his class. One other member of the 1951 group received two academic prizes in his junior year and a third in his senior year, and still another was elected president of the Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

At Lafayette, four of the 21 Scholars who graduated in 1955 were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. This was especially significant because only 12 seniors in a class of more than 250 were accorded this honor. One of the Scholars received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, another received the National Science Association Fellowship, and a third was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship. Two of the Scholars who graduated in 1956 were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and one was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship for graduate study.

A high proportion of the 1951 and 1952 Scholars who graduated indicated that they planned to go on to graduate work. The proportion varied from college to college, but overall it was 65 per cent for the 1951 Scholars who graduated, and 76 per cent for the 1952 Scholars who graduated. The corresponding figures for the Comparison students were 49 per cent and 58 per cent. (See Appendix Table VII.) At Wisconsin and Chicago, several members of both Scholar groups finished their undergraduate work in less than four years and were already engaged in graduate study when their classmates received the bachelor's degree.
