THE United States Office of Education has issued a report, entitled “Some Factors in the Adjustment of College Students” of elaborate investigations of university entrance conditions in relation to the varying needs and capacities of individual students. Seven factors have been studied: articulation of high-school and university subject areas, extracurricular activities, lapse of time between leaving high school and admission to university, age on admission, high-school marks, aptitude and achievement test results, effect on university students of simultaneously engaging in gainful occupations. It is suggested that university courses be made to fit entering students either by dovetailing them with the high-school courses or “by setting up a few broad, comprehensive courses which challenge the interest and ability of the student” as in the University of Chicago (the humanities, the social sciences, the physical sciences, and the biological sciences). The report concludes with a formulation of the following desiderata: a more comprehensive system of record-keeping in the high-school for use in guidance of students; utilization by universities in admitting or guiding the student of as many items of knowledge concerning him or her as possible and, to this end, the provision by them of facilities for testing and interviewing them; integration of the work of the high school and the university through facilities for students of different levels of general scholastic aptitude; and shepherding of students into particular courses in accordance with their past achievements.
