D. Patterson, Colelge Fund president. “More than, 3.500 candidates are epxected to take the Cooperative Inter-collegiate Examinations this year," Dr. Patterson said. “The tests will be given in 183 centers throughout the country betwen Feb. 24 and March 8." Scoring and interpretation of test results are handled by the Educational Test ing Service of Princeton. More than 3,400 candidates took the examination in 1957. They represented 505 high schools, of which 377, or about 75 per cent, were located In nine southern states. The Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia and 18 other state* . were also represented. Can didates were selected for more than $200,000 In scholarship awards. Inaugurated in 1951 by 15 of the Fund’s 31 privately-supported member colleges, the program has been highly sucessfui during the past seven years. “Before this time it had been the •wlwV'/ UhAwA*-' »: ‘ a ' I •; •I • ®Pg iu & Z-fLvb ii \-• i 1// •, r 0.

Finally high school principles complained of the disruption to classroom studies by recurring testing sessions. “The cooperative plan met these problems. It reduced the expenses of the colleges by scheduling one jointly-financed examination in strategically located centers. It al so reduced the loss of classroom time by enabling interested high school seniors to compete, at one sitting for scholarships offered by different colleges. “All of the Fund’s member col ledges will be encouraged to base admissions as well as scholarships It is estimated that one in three of the 300,000 persons alive today who have had paralytic polio could still benefit from modern rehabi litation methods.
