LITERARY SOCIETIES RAISE STANDING. in The feature outstanding t he s u m m a ry of scholarship of literary so cieties, which has been prepared by Registrar Yakeley this summer, is t h at none of the societies stood anywhere near as low as the lowest last year. Also many of the societies raised their s t a n d i ng considerably. And the g r a nd average of the standings of all society members has risen from 1.77 to 1.79, where 1 stands for a C grade and 2 stands for B. The following societies have raised their standings of last year: Dorian, Sororian, Sesame, Themian, E u n o m i a n, Trimoria, Phylean, Columbian, P hi Delta, and Athenaeum. Those who failed to do as well as during 1914-15 a r e: Forensic, E ro Alphian, Feronian, Ionian, Olympic, Union Literary, Hes perian, Aurorean, a nd Eclectic. In securing the s u m m a ry the stand taken the societies ings of all members of were tabulated in all subjects for the e n t i re year. The number of credits for each subject was into con sideration. A subject graded C was counted 1: one graded B, 2; A, 3; D, - 1; F, 12. The average for a society was found by totaling all counts for all members and dividing by the total n u m b er of credits.
