A study of the comparison in the yearly financial success of students who achieved scholastic honors with those who participated in many activities and made high grade averages

Abstract

Scholarship or activities? The older generation frequently complains that this is the question confronting college students today. Along with the here-to-fore sole channel of attention- scholarship-there exists a wide strait of intense interest- activities. Some of the critics argue that the purpose for which the college was established is being thwarted. Others contend that the dual offering in the college provides a more life-like situation. For the "promoter" activities are provided; for the real student the goal is scholastic honors. The constructive critics believe that the two interests can be combined. "Whate prominent educators seek is a well rounded type of studet--'a sound mind in a sound body'.." They point out many examples of those who take advantage of both opportunites. Thus the question is debated.
