(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The scholastic ability of the Jewish student over the average student of other races was the subject of a survey by Dean Homer P. Little, who made a statistical survey of Clark University graduates since its foundation and has found that while there were ten non-Jewish students to every Jewish student at the University, there is one Jewish honor student in every seven graduates.
The total number or graduates of the institution is 798 of which 73 were Jewish and 725 non-Jews. A curious result of the research is that only one Jewish student has ever been granted the first honors in his class while second honors have geen granted at the ratio of 1 to 3 1/2.
During the past five years a higher proportion of Jewish students have continued studies for higher degrees. Of the 73 Jewish graduates 10 have received or are working for the master’s degree; 3 the doctor’s degree; 8 the medical degree; 17 the law degree; 2 the business degree; 18 in business and 19 in teaching or research.
