W. 100 SEEK GOURSES AS CHILD PRODIGIES Northwestern Plan to Admit Few Brings Flood of Applications. By the Assoclated Press. EVANSTON, Ill, February 26.—Ap- parently there's a lot more precocity in America than even a university presi- dent would imagine. More than 100 applications had been received yesterday, 10 days after Presi- dent Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern University announced that his school would like to admit, next Fall, a half- dozen 13-to-15-year-old prodigies And this before any of the school principals, to whom President Scott made his only direct appeal, had re- sponded with any nominations. The applications received, made in surprising numbers by the children themselves from various parts of the Nation, were inspired solely by brief notices carried on press wires. Ventures No Forecast. In the face of this reaction, Presi- dent Scott would not venture to fore- cast today what the “harvest” will be when the scores of educators have nominated the mental marvels who have come under their observation. But he is convinced that there is| plenty of material for the sort of edu- cational new departure he has pro- posed, and already has begun contem- plating enlarging the group to a dozen —six boys and six girls. President Scott explained that a few “superior” students, who had enrolled | at Northwestern when extremely young, had been more than satisfactory in grades and conduct, but, being in an age class by themselves, have lacked the stimulus that comes from co-op- eration and competition with equals (in age and experience). Live in Same Quarters. “It is planned that these students live in the same quarters, so that each will have friends of the same age and interests outside the class room,” President Scott said. “These students must meet all our usual entrance requirements, which means that boys or girls considered precocious because of extraordinary talent in one line, such as music or art, are not eligibie unless they have the other qualifications. “By precocious we imply an intel- ligence quotient higher than 130—or such youthful attainments as were characteristic of such men as Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Lord Byron, Mozart, James Watt and others.” ALUMNI OF IOWA U. OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY Karl 8. Hoffman, Head of Local Graduate Group, in Charge of Celebration. Local alumni of the State University of Iowa celebrated the 85th anni- versary of the founding of that insti- tution with a dinner at the Hamilton Hotel Wednesday night. Special guests included many educators attending the National Education Association Conven- tion here. University officials who assisted Karl S. Hoffman, president of the Washing- ton alumni group, with preparations for the dinner included Walter A. Jessup, president; Dean Paul C. Packer, Prof. F. G. Higbee, executive secretary of the University of Jowa Alumni Association, and Dr. Bruce E. Mahan, director of the extension department. Mrs. Albert W. Volkmer sang several selections and dedicated the university song, “Old Gold,” to former President George Edwin MacLean, who presided at the dinner.
