Records Indicate JVomen Are
Men's Intellectual Superiors
Washington Square College Report Cards Give 48
Females Rating of 84.46% and Same Number of
Males 76.91%; Devote More Hours to Studies
women students arc intellectually
superior to men.
That is what, the report cards of
forty-eight men and those of an equal
'.umber of women in Washington
Square College of New York Univer
?itj indicate.
Eighty-three women had AV; 107.
B*a; 71, C's; 27. D's; 4, E'a, and I, F.
Among the e?jual number of men 46
had A's; 100. B's; 78, C's; 18, D's; 4,
E'a, and 2. F's.
The women, in other words, had al?
most twice as many A's as the men,
while the latter had nearly twice as
many failures ?s the women.
The marks. averaged. give the
women 84.4G per cent, and tue men
"6.91 per cent. It is not only in Wash- '
ingtou Square College that women's
grades are superior to men's. In Mid-!
dlebury College the percentage for I
women during the semester 1920-*21 |
was 83.02 pe?- cent, in comparison with
the 78.21 per cent average of the men..
The fact that more women are being
admitted to tin* Phi Beta Kappa than
men is cited as additional proof of !
their mental superiority. '?The biologi-!
cal reason for this." said Professor Ru- j
dolph M. Binder, "?s that men are morel
muscular and active than women. '
Therefore, since book education is a
static affair, the application to books ?
is less natural for men than for |
women.
"Moreover, men'- hours are more
irregular than tho.se of women. While j
women are often engaged in study in
the evening, men go out."
J, E. Lough, professor of psychology
at the university, believes that it de
ner.ris on the kind of work as to
whether the man or the woman is the
bettor student. "In the mathematics.
government, economics and sciences
boys, excel," said Professor Lough.
"but in language work, literature and
English the girls are superior. The
reason is that practical -subjects are
favored by the boys, because they ex?
pect to use them in later life. The
average girl, however, does not expect;
t s use 'math' and science."
Statistics prove Professor Lough's
assertion. The favorite subject. o<" the
men is the mo-t disliked by the wom?
en, and vice versa. Out of 40 men
students, 14 gave mathematics as their*
best-liked subject and 12 English as
their most disliked. Out of an equal

English as their best-liked subject,
v. hile IC gave mathematics e.h their
i ???st disliked.
"'I be reason that girls get higher
grades than the mon," Hccording to
Professor Horno, "is that most 'exams'
evolve memory. If they were based
o:i practical judgment, the boys would
excel."
Messrs. hoggins and Kraemcr, of the
department of English, hold opposing
views. "The bright hoy shines more
than the bright girl," says Mr, I.og
?118, "hut the dull boy Is duller than
thi dull girl."
?'Not so," contends Mr. Kraemer,
"the boy is more average than the
girl. When she is good, she i very,
very good, hut when she is stupid, she's
impossible! "
"The girls apply tbemselvec more,"
said Dean John R, Turner.
-Arid they need to, because the col?
lege course i.s more adapted to mer
than to women. If dancing and knit
t ng, which are just as Important as
Greek, were put into the curriculum,
tht work would be more suitable for1
VVOITlf tl."
Statistics hear oui Lean Turner's i
statement that girls apply themselves
more. Not only do they nctually ap?
ply themselves more ? they study i
longer. An average of the time forty
three women and forty-three men put
on school work outside of class each dav |
was taken. It showed that men studied J
but one hour out of twenty-four, while |
\ ?men studied two hours out of six.
Columbia Prodigy in Show
He Vt ill Be if Part Can Be Found
in "You'll Never Know"
Edward Bochie Hardy, the twelve-i
year-old freshman, is going to take i
part: in the annual Columbia varsity !
show if the management can think up ;
something dignified for him to do in ,
it by April 20, when the show is to bo
given at the Hotel Astor.
The show ?s called "You'll Never
Know," and there aren't any Sanscrit
ers in it or any of the other foreign?
ers with whose languages Edward is ?
so familiar, so the difficulty of finding
a part for him is a vexatious one.
Nevertheless, the management ?*>
confident that Edward would be a Feat
filling attraction and is determined :
put him into the show. Edward him?

or 'most anything, but the authorities
have decided that he must do some?

WASHINGTON, April 9.?Besiegad by
requests from municipalities in their

who have arrived in Washington for the
special session beginning Monday are
wondering how they can get the sur?

arriving in the United ?States.
Thousand*? of field and machine guns,
trench mortars and rifles and nearly
a million smaller articles, ranging from
ornamented helmets to Uhlan lances,
were brought back from Europe by the
victorious Yanks, but their distribution
as relics has been delayed by a dead?
lock in Congress as to the method o1
assigning them to localities.
Approximately 5.00U measures pro
vlding for distribution of the relics tc
various communities went into the hop

and other composers, which did not re?
quire elaborate feats of technical skill.

A Message From The President
Of The Cadillac Motor Car Company
Year after year it has been necessary for
us, at this season, to caution prospective
buyers of the Cadillac Motor Car against
possible disappointment in the matter of se?
curing delivery.
The necessity was never more urgent, as it
is our conviction that the months of May
and June, and the remainder of the year,
will witness the greatest shortage of Cadillac
Cars in the history of the company.
The Cadillac Company is firmly committed
to the policy of building 8-cylinder cars
which will continue to be the Standard of
the World.
Present prices on Cadillac ^otor Cars will remain unchanged throughout the year 1921.
