Stop Bragging Boys, Gals Have All The Brains
Despite numerous proud claims to the contrary, the figures again show that University men run a not-too-close second to the females as far as classroom work is concerned.
The trend pops up in more than a simple comparison between the all women's and all-men's grade averages. In most years the women's scholarship hall with the highest grade average ranks above the top men's scholarship hall, and the comparison remains steady in comparing fraternities and sororites, and also men's and women's dormitories.
A number of factors have been suggested in an effort to explain this fact—mostly by men who refuse to admit that women are more intelligent.
Improvement is General The registrar's office groups grade averages into seven categories in the annual scholarship report, and this year's report shows general improvement in almost all categories.
Improvement Is General
Douthart Hall, a women's scholarship hall, topped all resident groups with a 2.13 average. Sellards was second with 2.07, followed by Watkins and Miller Hall with 2.06.
The all-women's average of 1.73 was up from 1.66 last year. National sororities were were 1.75, up from 1.74 last year, and honorary fraternities were up to 2.23 from 2.06. Professional fraternities were 1.79 over their previous 1.64.
Grace Pearson Leads
Only national social fraternities dropped in their yearly average, posting a 1.33 average, .03 less than the year before.
Grace Pearson led the women's dormitories with 1.70, while North College Hall was second with 1.57. Stephenson Hall again led the men's scholarship halls with a 2.06 mark. Foster was second with 1.94, and Templin headed men's dormitories with a 1.38.
