vol* XLVI UNIVERSITY WOMEN OUTRANK THE MEN. The Athletes Average Higher Then Whole Group in College. Cor. of The Gieaner. Chapel -Hill, N. 6., Dec. 14. The old • question, . "Do collegia athletes study?" is answered with a loud "Yes" in the annual report of Dr. T. J. Wilson Jr., registrar the University of North Caro- Hlift. Dr. WilßQn goes back to the scholastic records of alt varsity athletes of last year, averages the grades that they made during the • year, and the result shows that the record of the athletes is a trifle higher than that of the aver age undergraduate. It does not N rank up with such groups as the debaters or the Y. M. 0, A. leaders or with the honorary scholarship societies, but is higher than the • general average of all under graduate work. Put in exact figures the record of the varsity athletes was just under 80 per Cent and the average of the whole group of men in the college was a little lower, about '7B per cent. Indications aire that the atlfletic scholastic require ment which prevents students from taking part in any intercol legiate con test unless they keep up with their work helped raise the record. * The 41 women in the university last year ranked much higher, than the athletes and are much higher than the average run ot jtyen stu dent Their grades average about 86 percent, which is pretty good prick>s of the earnestness with which they drive into their work, OF&li groups in the university, Tau Kappa Alpha, a debating fra torflitjr com'poseA of intercollegiate debaters and winners of oratorical contests, made the highest record, with members of Sigma ITp ' si ton * a literary group secotld, and Phi Beta the national • Scholarship third ' One v distinct feature of Dr. Wil spu s is the coqtihußed\rise of interest in French and Spanish, whiett.seemß to be displacing Lat in and Greek more aha more every year, More students are register ,ed. In : the romance languages, French and Spanish, than in any other department in the universi • tv, a total of 650, higher even than, the English department •vith (>l4. .Twenty-three students are taking Greek and 97 are studying , Xatin as against 277 in Latin in 1916. The winter and spring quarters will probably show a slight increase in students taking Latin, but even "Bo it seems cer tain that each year is seeing a steady falling off in students bf the ancient languages and an in crease in modern languages^ Increases in nearly all the pro fessional schools are noted in the registrar's report. Medicine with 71 students, pharmacy with 65, and the graduate school with 58 show a larger registration than at any time in the past s'years, and law with 139 is higher than any. year except last year. There are 105 seniors in college, 165 joniors, 270 aophmores, and 391 freshmen. A group of special stupenta num ber 183, composed mostly of stu dents preparing for the medical school.

It 1 is also our pleasure to say that this record was made under snch conditions as to permit any farmer in the county to do equally as well if not better.
