Quantity with Quality

Brooklyn College is one of the largest, and one of the best, among American educational institutions. With some twenty-five thousand students (counting the night-school), four-fifths of whom are first-generation Americans, and a great many of whom work to keep body and soul together, this College (a part of the City College of New York) has a truly impressive record of intellectual attainment. Eighty per cent of its graduates recommended for admission to medical schools succeed in entering, a remarkable proportion; Brooklyn ranks twelfth in one list of the nation’s fifty leading educational institutions; the average entering student ranks far above the average American college student in intellectual ability; and Brooklyn’s graduates win a great many graduate fellowships. All this is achieved despite a limited budget and the lowest costs, to the student, in New York City.
