Along wth this considerable rise all things remained equal. Women students contuiued to get better grades than men. In 1930 the score was women 1.43, men 1.21. Two years later in 1933 the score read wonK-n 1.68, men 1.51. Non-fraternky men contu.ued to average above traternity affiliates. Several factors in back of this rise in scholastic standing lend themselves to interpretation hirst, with the enrollment dropping, the university would not afford to flunk too manv and hence grading was considered more lement. In the second place, students applied themselves more assiduously to their studies and with less money available avoided most of the currents of the soc, maelstrom. A social awareness brought with it a more senous attitude toward studies W.th many students hanging on to college at great sacrifice, a singleness of purpose was naturalK- reflected in better grades.
