Family incomes table. In 1963 the university offered finan-
cial aid to 60% of the 25 applicants whose net family incomes
were between $9,000 and $10,999—the range that includes
Carl's family's income. Scholarship grants to this group
ranged in value from $220 to $1,200, while job and loan
offers ranged from $75 to $400. These ranges show that
many factors in the family's financial situation—such as
the number of dependents, indebtedness, savings and other
assets—were taken into account by the university in deter-
mining how much aid each applicant should receive.

What the financial aid tables show. If Carl were accepted
for admission to Washington and Lee, and if the university
judged that he needed financial aid, it appears probable
that he would be offered an appropriate amount of aid in
some form—scholarship, loan, job, or a combination of these
—to enable him to attend.
Definition of profile terms
The following definitions were supplied to colleges that
prepared profile statements:
Applicants for admission are students who submitted
all necessary forms, information, and application fees. An
admissions decision was made on each of them by the
college.
Per cent accepted is the number of students in 100 who
were accepted for admission, from among those students
who applied for admission.
Number enrolled refers to those applicants who were
accepted for admission and entered the college as freshmen.
Private school means any school not supported by taxes.
Residence of applicants for admission was purposely left
undefined to make it easier for colleges to report from
whatever records they had. The geographic areas named
in the residence table, therefore, do not necessarily have
the same boundaries in every profile.
Financial aid includes all scholarships, jobs, and loans
that are administered by the college.
Aid applicants refers only to those applicants for finan-
cial aid who were accepted for admission by the college.
Students who applied for financial aid but were not ac-
cepted for admission are not included in the profile figures
for aid applicants.
Per cent offered aid is the number of students in 100
who were offered financial aid, from among those accepted
students who applied for aid.
Family income means the net family income before
taxes. It is the same amount as that entered in Item 18 of
the Parents' Confidential Statement, provided by the Col-
lege Scholarship Service.

Washington and Lee
University
Lexington, Virginia
Washington and Lee is an independent nonsectarian university
for men with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately
1,075 students and an enrollment of 130 students in its School of
Law. Of the 1,268 students who completed applications for the
freshman class entering in September 1963, 626 were accepted
and 339 enrolled. Of those who enrolled, 56% came from public
high schools and 44% from private schools.
Washington and Lee seeks to have in its freshman class candi-
dates of good character who will live successfully at a college
that operates under one of the country's most distinguished
honor systems; the system is completely controlled by the stu-
dents. The college wishes entering freshmen to possess a high
degree of maturity, high values, and a determination to excel
in the academic climate they will find on the campus. In the ad-
missions process we seek to measure candidates for evidence
of a strong promise of success in a liberal arts college that
offers a blend of humanistic and scientific curriculums, upper-
class work in business administration and journalism, and pro-
grams preliminary to medicine, law, engineering, and the
ministry.
There is no set formula for admission, but consideration is
given to the caliber of work performed in the particular school
the applicant has attended, the correlation between his rank
in class and his College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test and
Achievement Test scores (taken by January of the senior year),
and information from the school concerning the candidate's
personal qualities. The median SAT-verbal score of the freshmen
who entered in September 1963 was 595, and the median SAT-
mathematical score was 622.
In recent years approximately 7% of the entering freshman
classes failed to qualify academically for the second year.
Washington and Lee hopes to enroll students who will take
an interest in and contribute to campus life and extracurricular
activities. One markedly successful extracurricular activity is
an amateur athletic program that offers participants no financial
rewards of any kind.
With a tradition going back more than 200 years and in a
southern location, Washington and Lee enjoys a student body
whose members come from all over the nation. This nearly
unique national distribution has been achieved without impos-
ing any geographical quotas.
Candidates' visits to the campus, arranged in advance, are
cordially invited but are not required—particularly in view of
the distance many applicants would have to travel.
Freshmen who have performed satisfactorily in college-level
secondary school courses and on the College Board Advanced
Placement Examinations may apply for both advanced place-
ment in college courses and for credit toward graduation.
The final date for supplying a complete set of admissions
credentials is February 15, although an earlier application is
urged in the candidate's own interest. The majority of candi-
dates are notified of the actions taken on their applications by
March 15. An early admissions decision plan is available for
those students whose first choice of college is Washington and
Lee University and whose school records through the junior
year, including College Board test scores, are outstanding.
Washington and Lee subscribes to the Candidates Reply Date
Agreement.
Of the 24 graduates listed under "military service" in the ac-
companying postgraduate occupations table, 10 plan to take
jobs when their military service is finished and 4 will go on to
graduate schools.
Financial aid
Washington and Lee provides a broad program of financial aid
to students; awards are based on an applicant's over-all record
of achievement and his financial need. The Parents' Confi-
dential Statement must be filed with the College Scholarship
Service by January 23, and the personal application for aid
must be filed with the university by February 1.
Financial assistance consists of scholarships, loans, and jobs,
which may be awarded to an applicant separately or in some
combination. Amounts of all awards are reviewed each year,
and a student who is receiving help may expect it to continue
as long as his academic record is satisfactory and his need
continues.
During 1962-63 one-fifth of the student body was receiving
financial aid. The increased use of existing loan funds has made
it possible to assist financially almost all accepted students
who clearly need help to attend the university.

MEMBER SCHOOL NOMINEES CONSIDERED
Eighty-six secondary schools will be proposed for membership in the
College Board at the annual membership meeting in October.
The schools will be nominated by the committee on membership
from a pool of 2,757 applications. The pool was created by inviting
all schools with students who took College Board tests in 1962-63
to file applications which will be considered for selection in 1964,
1965, and 1966. The closing date for applications was January 15,
1964.
Schools nominated for membership this year will be notified in
late March.
Provisions for school membership call for three-year terms and
rotation of members to give as many schools as possible the op-
portunity to serve. In the selection system, representativeness is
first established according to the type of school, its geographic
region, size of the student body, and number of candidates taking
College Board examinations. Final selections are made at random
from within groupings of schools based upon these criteria.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CONFERENCES JUNE 25-27
The annual Advanced Placement Program conferences for school
and college teachers and administrators this year will include the
following: biology, Carleton College, Professor Thurlo Thomas;
chemistry, Reed College, Dr. Donald T. Williams, assistant direc-
tor of admissions; English, Transylvania College, John F. Harrison,
chairman, department of English; foreign languages, Occidental
College, Gilman H. Alkire, instructor in Russian; history, Univer-

Page 106

sity of Illinois, Professor Norman A. Graebner; mathematics,
University of Oklahoma, Professor John D. Hopperton; physics,
Case Institute of Technology, James R. Hooper, Jr., associate dean
of instruction.
Persons interested in attending a conference are asked to write
to its chairman for information about conference fees and other
details.
Among other actions taken at the December meeting, the Ad-
vanced Placement committee decided, on the basis of the final re-
port of a survey conducted last autumn, not to give further consid-
eration to adding Russian to the program at the present time.
COUNSELORS' PUBLICATIONS ANNOUNCED
The 1964 edition of the Manual of Freshman Class Profiles will be pub-
lished by the College Board in March.
The Manual, a source book of information for secondary school
guidance counselors, will contain descriptions of the characteristics
of the freshman class entering colleges in September 1963. It will
provide information on 351 College Board member colleges, an in-
crease of 101 over the previous edition. Unlike the three previous
editions, which were in loose-leaf binders, the 1964 Manual will be
a bound volume.
An announcement describing the Manual in detail will be sent to
schools and colleges. The price of the Manual will be $7 per copy.
Another publication to be available in March is the 1964-65
edition of Admissions Schedules of the Member Colleges. This booklet
will summarize in tabular form the admissions requirements of the
543 College Board member colleges for applicants who expect to
enter college as freshmen in September 1965. It indicates Board
test requirements, with the colleges' required, preferred, or ac-
ceptable testing dates. It also includes the closing date for applica-
tions and indicates whether the college subscribes to the Candidates
Reply Date Agreement. One copy will be sent free of charge to all
schools with students who take College Board tests. Additional
copies may be purchased for 50 cents each.

Copies of these publications may be ordered from: College
Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey
08540, or Box 1025, Berkeley, California 94701.
GUIDANCE CONFERENCE SET
A Work Conference on Guidance for School-College Transition will
be held from August 17-28, 1964, at Teachers College, Columbia
University, under the auspices of the College Board and the depart-
ment of guidance and student personnel administration at the col-
lege.
The conference is intended for prospective and experienced
school counselors who have completed their basic programs of pro-
fessional preparation but have not yet worked extensively in pre-
college guidance. The purpose of the conference is to assist school
counselors in understanding the scope and variety of higher educa-
tion; practices and trends in college admissions, placement, and
financial aid; and the role of the secondary school and counselor in
school-college transition. Professor Charles N. Morris of Teachers
College will head the conference staff. Enrollment will be limited.
The closing date for registrations is May 15, 1964. Persons inter-
ested in attending the conference may obtain further information from
Professor Morris, Department of Guidance and Student Personnel Ad-
ministration, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, New
York 10027.
RICHARD PEARSON NAMED PRESIDENT
Richard Pearson, Acting President of the Board since November
1963, was elected President by the board of trustees at a special
meeting February 4 in New York City. Mr. Pearson had served as
Executive Vice President of the Board from November 1956 until
his appointment as Acting President. He was College Board pro-
gram director for Educational Testing Service from 1952 to 1956,
and previously was associated with the College Board and ETS in
both Princeton and Los Angeles.

Page 107

ENGLISH TEST COMMITTEE NAMED
A special committee of review has been appointed to survey all
English examinations of the College Board and to submit findings
and recommendations to the Board later this year.
The 16-member committee of school and college teachers is
headed by Henry Sams, professor of English at Pennsylvania State
University.
Harold Martin, professor of English at Harvard University, is
vice chairman of the group and will provide liaison with the Board's
Commission on English. He is chairman of the commission, which
was formed in 1959 to study general problems in the teaching of
English and the preparation of teachers.
Reasons for appointment of the special committee include the
broadened and renewed efforts by national groups to improve and
strengthen the field of English teaching, interest by College Board
member colleges in the development of a satisfactory alternative to
the Writing Sample, recent encouraging work in the measurement
of writing ability, and expressed interest in examinations in liter-
ature as well as composition in the admissions testing program.
The new committee will evaluate all of the Board's current
examinations in English, including the English Composition Test,
the Writing Sample, the Advanced Placement Examination in Eng-
lish, and the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The
committee will also seek to judge the present and anticipated needs
for English examinations in college admissions and placement, and
to coordinate its work closely with that of the Commission on English.
NEW PROGRAM STUDIED
Trustees of the College Board at their winter meeting December 12
in New York City reaffirmed their approval, in principle, of the ex-
tension of Board services at the college level.
The trustees adopted a resolution authorizing the Chairman to
appoint an ad hoc committee to study possible extension of the

Board's services at the undergraduate level and to present recom-
mendations for possible actions.
Widespread interest has been expressed in developing admissions
tests for transfer students and equivalency examinations to validate
courses taken off the campus. Attention also has been drawn to the
problems of financial aid for transfer students.
BOWLES ADMISSIONS STUDY PUBLISHED
Access to Higher Education, by Frank Bowles, the final report of the
International Study of University Admissions, has been published by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
and the International Association of Universities. Mr. Bowles, who
was President of the College Board before joining the Ford Founda-
tion staff last November, directed the study during 1960-62 while on
a leave of absence from the Board.
The 212-page book represents the first comparative study ever
made of the factors in different educational systems which deter-
mine national and world-wide yields of educated persons. Although
global in context and coverage, the study was based in part upon in-
dividual studies of the educational processes in 12 countries.
As a convenience to College Board News readers, the Board has
obtained a supply of the book. Copies may be ordered at the
publisher's price of $3 from: College Entrance Examination Board,
Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or Box 1025, Berkeley,
California 94701.
PCS-USE SURVEY REPORTED
Certain financial aid practices, as established by a questionnaire
survey of College Scholarship Service participants last October,
will be considered by the CSS subcommittee on membership as the
basis for possible new criteria for formal participation in the
service.
Institutions participating in CSS currently are committed to re-

Page 108

quire substantially all financial aid applicants to submit the Parents'
Confidential Statement, to be prepared to report to CSS about finan-
cial awards based on the PCS, and to pay an annual participation fee
of $ 50.
Among the results of the questionnaire, which drew 456 re-
sponses from the 512 CSS institutions questioned, were indications
that more than 92 per cent of all CSS participants have some formal
PCS requirement for some or all of their freshman financial aid
candidates. Coincidentally, 92 per cent of all 1963-64 freshman
awards made by 400 respondents were based on financial need.
TEST VOLUME INCREASES
Candidate volume for the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test ad-
ministrations last October was 1,020,076, an increase of about
150,000 over 1962. Seventy-six per cent of the students who took
the test were secondary school juniors.
"KILL THE IQ"
"The concept of fixed general intelligence, or capacity for learning,
is a hypothetical concept," Robert L. Ebel points out in College Board
Review No. 52, Winter 1964. "At this stage in the development of
our understanding of human learning, it is not a necessary hypothe-
sis. Socially, it is not now a useful hypothesis. One of the import-
ant things test specialists can do to improve the social consequences
of educational testing is to discredit the popular conception of the
IQ. Wilhelm Stern, the German psychologist who suggested the con-
cept originally, saw how it was being over-generalized and charged
one of his students coming to America to 'kill the IQ.' Perhaps we
would be well advised, even at this late date, to renew our efforts
to carry out his wishes."
