theory that as long as no higher motive

: Some of the suggestions advanced “by
Mr. Crawford in conclusion are:

1,. glhat certain . motivating factors,
suchas. economic—-Status,--professional
background. or. interests, definiteness of
orientation, should be uged, together with
measures of capacity Such as scholastic
aptitude ratings? as supplementary cri-
teria in the selective admission of stu-
dents. "

in both academic and extra-curricular

Samuel C. Chew, professor of

background for his scholarly criticism
of the poet’s lyrical “and: narrative
verse and his tragedies and prose
writings, many humorous and _inter-
esting biographical facts.” He de-
scribes how Swinburne, as a turbulent
red-haired imp, experiencing ‘that bliss
which comes in each generation to
aspiring youth who imagine them-
selves (with the aid of a brandy bot-
tle), ‘o’er all the ills of life victorious,’
burst upon the drowsy Victorians as
they ‘lay basking jn the misty sunshine

such poems and malicious: tricks that

methods, is, of course, the question of

Dr. Chew says, “All that the poet
