Qx HE undergraduates of distinction form a group definitely related to that of the Dis- tinguished Alumni. According to a recent sur- vey made by The Bell Telephone System, the persons who have ranked high in collegiate scholarship, and who have made substantial achievement in college activities are among the ones who have been most successful after grad- uation. Other factors, however, such as the amount of satisfaction that each person receives from his work and his ability to adjust himself to his environment are of course very important. The type of work studied in this survey is such that leadership and the ability to make effective public contacts are qualities which would lead to success. m Fortune habitually falls to those persons who possess the imagina- tion, and the intelligence to plan wisely and who in addition have the mental and physical energy, and personal- 20 ity necessary to build their plan into reality. The undergraduates of distinction have each demon- strated some, or all of these characteristics. There- fore we expect to hear more of them, in the case of Juniors not only during the remainder of their college activity, but also after graduation. In any group of people, certain ones become dis- tinguished because of particular personal traits, some become known for non-conforming, and re- garded with an uneasy eye, others get along super- latively well in their environment, and are liked by almost everyone. The undergraduates of distinc- tion are well known for their record in scholarship, social life, campus organization, and athletics. . . . Although one,s characteristics are being contin- ually modified in detail, one,s basic character traits are formed rather early in life, and usually remain unchanged through the years. Therefore we have confidence in this group of active undergraduates.
