Eleven man rbrain trust9 gets
college degrees in 20 months

ATLANTA, Ga. fACPK Six
earnest young men, survivoYs of
an eleven-man "brain teum," have
just qualified for four-year bache
lor of arts degrees in less than 20
months.
President Thornwcll Jacobs of
Oglethorpe university, who started
the eleven on a six-year grind in
September, 1939, looked over their
report cards and observed:
1. The collective average for the
group is better than 92 percent on
a study program of 30 class hours
a week twice the normal load.
2. The boys are healthy, happy
and still going strong.
3. The experiment has gone far
enough to demonstrate his princi
pal thesis "that the average col
lege is a loosely knit, time-wasting
organization resembling a country
club as much as an institute of
learning, and approximately half
the time of its students is devoted
to pursuits other than education."
One of the original eleven mar
ried, one withdrew because of ill
ness, another becaure of religious
reasons, another to support his
family, and one "just didn't size

"They will be the best educated
college men ever to graduate from
an American institution," Dr.
Jacobs said. "They will have un
dertaken four times as much work
as a Harvard graduate.
"It is not because of any partic
ular brilliance on the part of the
boys. It is due solely and only to
two things:
"1. They have been relieved of
all country club distractions, with
prescribed time for sleeping. eRt
ing. classes, study, recreation and
religion.
"2. They are intensely in earn
est, knowing that upon them de
pends the outcome of this educa
tional experiment.''
"The boys have no distractions,"
explains Dr. Jacobs. They get
plenty of exercise.
