plied favor a "Good-Pass-Fail"
grade system rather than the
present " A-B-C-D-E-F-I" sys
tem. Sixty-four do not. Eight
that answered were undecided.
The greatest single preference
shown by the group was for con
tinuation of the present quarter
system. Only 12 per cent, or 18
of the 157, favor the semester
plan.
One hundred and twenty-one
of the group reported having
