Abstract

A study reported by Bell at the Fairfield meeting (1929) covered several years of relationship between intelligence, grades, and class survival at Iowa Wesleyan College. A second study, reported by Miss Margaret Bell at the Davenport meeting (1931) covered intelligence and grades of men versus women students. This present and somewhat related study covers the past three years, during which time, only, this college has followed a uniform grading system; also during which time all freshmen have taken an intelligence test and also a test of high school performance. The American Council's Psychological Examination and the University of Iowa's High School Content Examination were the tests used in each instance.
