Abstract:
The increasing number of high school graduates without a comparable increase in facilities for higher education has led to keen competition for college admission. Rising admission standards are having a pronounced effect upon the number and quality of students admitted to curriculums in agricultural colleges. Citations in educational journal literature report college drop-out rates averaging 60 percent of the original freshman class by the end of the senior year. Since a smaller proportion of students are enrolling in agricultural curriculums than in other subject matter curriculums, student performance is exceedingly important to directors of agricultural college teaching programs.
