GRADES AND SUCCESS I was talking to Corliss about things In general when the subject of scho lastic grades e d g e d its way Into the conversa tion. Corliss had not m a d e any very a p p a r e n t ripple In the scho lastic puddle so far and s i n c e most students seldom do better during their un dergraduate life than they do dur ing the first few weeks, was not very likely to do so. We all like to Justify our own posi tion no matter whnt It may be, and so Corliss liked to feel that mediocre or Inferior work In college was not an Indication of whnt a man would do after he got out of college and took up the real work of life. One studies so many things while In college, he held, for which In after life one finds not the slightest use. ‘‘You don't really think, do you,” Corliss put up to me, “that a man's grades In college—In English for In stance—In any wny suggest what sort of success he will attain In later life In the profession or business In which he may engage?” "That's exactly what 1 do think,” I said to him. In my desk were my grade books In which were recorded the grades of the students I had had In my theme courses twenty, twenty-five and thirty years or more ago. I took up the rec ord of the students who bad been graduated twenty-five years. “I’ll pick out the six best men 1 had In English twenty-five years ago and see what they are doing today.” Not one of them Is teaching English. Each man has attained more than or dinary distinction In the profession which he adopted—a distinction that Is In complete accord with the grades each obtained In his college courses. “It looks as If I'd better get down to work If I expect to get anywhere.” Corliss said when I was through. “I should advise It,” I answered. t ---------------------------------------------I Tasteful Planning atairs to the second floor.
