THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Proposes Selection Tests
For Prospective Students
Dean Kent of Northwestern Uni
versity says that the day of selectiv
ity in the choice of college students
has arrived. Each student can judge
for himself on four things:
First. How good a student were
you in high school? Your standing
in high school, both in scholarship
and school activities, is a great fac
tor in your university entrance. If
you were a good scholar in high
school the chances are that you will
be a fairly good university student.
Second. What can you do in col
lege? Will you be a credit to the
school you attend or will you be a
hindrance to its advancement? Are"
you alert mentally? Dean Kent sug
gests a number of alertnes tests as
measures of the student's mental
alertness. The result of these tests
would not be an absolute test of the
student's mentality nor would it pre
vent him from attending school but
it would be at least a basis for judg
ing him.
Third. What about your health?
To attend classes three hours a day,
study on the average of six hours a
day, keep up all campus activities,
and in some cases earn money out
side each week requires that the stu
dent be physically fit.
Last of all and perhaps the most
important question is: what sort of a
person re you? Do you play fair
or are you a cheat? Are you a' lead
er in high school. Remember that
" the fellow who plays the game
square, who does not .cheat his fellow
students by dishonesty in class and
who is loyal to his school is the man
the colleges like to build on."

"As I look back on my college days," said the
old grad, "it strikes me there were more men play
ing blind man's buff than all other games combined.
I understand this is still the case.
"Get me straight. It was no child's play. What
we were groping around for was pretty serious
business nothing less than a career.
"Too many men are in the dark as to what they
will do after graduation. Either they neglect to
specialize in anything, or hastily select a major which
they afterwards regret
"I know .would be considerably ahead in
business if back at college I had sat down for a few
hours' earnest thought to find out just what work I
liked best and then gone in for it heart and soul.
"Pick the thing that appeals to you, and don't
let them tell you that particular line is overcrowded. -Talk
this over with graduates you know. Talk it
over with your professors. Talk it over with the
industrial representatives next Spring. Most of all,
talk it over with yourself.
"The main thing is to get on the right track and
to keep going. There's no fun in being 'It in the
game of life, with every change in fate ready to push
you off an uncertain course."
