Synopsis
Excerpt from The Length of the College Course and Its Relation to the Professional Schools: Papers Read Before the Department of Higher Education of the National Education Association at Boston, Mass;, July 7, 1903
Mr. Thomas has attacked his problem by a third line of approach, which yields the most interesting results of all. He has computed the percentages of students graduated at the different years of their age, and plotted the resulting curves, comparing the first decade of this period with the last. From this it appears that the student body is becoming somewhat more homogeneous with regard to age; that a smaller per centage is found either below or above the age of the bulk of the class; and that the favorite age of graduation, the mode, as he calls it, which was between twenty and twenty-one in the decade, 1850-59, has risen and is found between twenty-one and twenty-two in the decade, 1890-99. In this we see brought to pass one of the changes which President Wayland proposed.
