Sitting One's Way through College: An Arraignment of the Tangibles Now Accepted as Evidence of an Education.
Brown, Kenneth Irving
Journal of Higher Education, v50 n4 p368-75 Jul-Aug 1979

A case is made for 10 measures of achievement to serve as a basis for graduation. (Article originally published in 1937.) (AF)
