This academic superiority comes as ho surprise to members of the University faculty who have followed the records of Virginia public high school men in the University during the papt twenty years.
Surprising to some, however, is the fact that non-Virginia publie high schools likewise produced more men wno earned Intermediate Honors, in terms of percentage enrolled, than did preparatory schools, either if Virginia or out of State. Four per cent of the nonVirginia public high school graduates enrolled were included on the ■Honors list.
Virginia preparatory schools were represented by two per cent of their graduates elegjble for Honors distinction. Non-Virginia preparatory schools had only onehalf of one per cent.
Heading the list of Virginia public schools whose graduates were honored W*fe Lane.High School of Charlottesville with four students. Maury High School of Norfolk with three, and Geo. Washington High School of Dan\ille with two.
Reassuring to those who sometimes wonder about the academic success at the University of graduates of -smaller schools is the fact' that seven of the twenty Virginia public high school men receiving Intermediate Honors were graduated from smaller city and county high schools. The list included Poquoson, Falmouth, Tazewell, Varina, .Harrisonburg, Suffolk, and Orange high schools.
Authorities at the University regard the record at the University Of students who have graduated from Virginia public schools as evidence of the quality of their preparation, and are increasingly hopeful that more men so qualified will chdose to enter tht University of Virginia in years to come.
