Admission to college for the experimental period will be based upon the following criteria:
A. Recommendation from the principal of the co-operating secondary school to the effect that the graduating student (a) is possessed of the requisite general intelligence to carry on college work creditably; (b) has well defined serious interests and purposes; (c) has demonstrated ability to work successfully in one or more fields of study in which the college offers instruction.
B. A carefully recorded history of the student's school life and of his activities and interests, including results of various types of examinations and other evidence of the quality and quantity of the candidate's work, also scores on scholastic aptitude, achievement, and other diagnostic tests given by the schools during the secondary school course.
It is intended that the tests used will be of such character that the results submitted to the colleges will give a more adequate -and complete picture of the candidate than is given by methods' now in use. A special Committee on Records is now at work endeavoring to determine:
1. what information the college needs for wise selection and guidance of students
2. how that information can best be secured
3. in what form it should be recorded and presented to the colleges.
The co-operating colleges will not be obliged to admit under this agreement all such students as meet the new requirements. However, during the experimental period and from the limited group of co-operating schools, the colleges agree to accept students tinder this plan without regard to the course and unit requirements now generally in force for all students, and without further examination. The colleges, for this period, agree also that students applying for admission under the new requirements will be considered without discrimination in comparison with students applying from other schools where present requirements are in effect.
