This chapter represents, in the forty-two colleges selected, the maximum and minimum requirements for admission to any of the colleges of good standing in the United States. In the selection of these institutions, the attempt has been to represent different sections of the country, the leading denominational colleges, and principal State Universities. The average of these requirements will admit one to any of the other colleges not here mentioned.
