Only the names of the freshmen Class will appear in the Rank List, published at the end of each year, it was announced at University Hall last night. For the last 13 years this pamphlet has contained the standing of all undergraduates according to groups made up on the basis of their grades.

The present proposal, made by the Administrative Board and approved by the Faculty of Arts and Science, marks a considerable change in University policy. Commenting on it, Dean Hanford said:

"The change will not only mean a considerable saving of money, but it will also remove the criticism that the publication and distribution of a Rank List for upperclassmen based merely on standing in courses overemphasizes course grades as a criterion for judging achievement and gives no weight to tutorial work. In the case of the first-year men, a printed Rank List seems necessary because of the fact that the schools desire information regarding the showing of their men. Such a publication is also helpful to departments of the University. There is no objection to a Rank List for Freshmen based merely on course grades, because they are not doing tutorial work."
