! RECORDS SHOW WOMEN
ARE MORE INTELLLLIGENT
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Oct. 15—The way intelligence is meas
ured by the faculty at the Univer
sity of Washington—women are more
intelligent than men. The cold, bleak
fact became known yesterday when
the comparative standing of organ
ized and unorganized groups of stu
dents here from last year were made
known.
Says Dean of Men, J. E. Gould—
“The men held their own, they were
as good last year as they were in
1922-23.
Says Mrs. Arthur Haggett, dean of
women—“Wom'.n have gone‘steadily
forward. Their average was not
only far above that of the men but
individual women’s organizations were
the winners of the first places in the
scholastic race last year.”
The Kappa Kappa Gamma soror
ity was the highest organization
scholastically for the year 1923-4 here
with an average of 7.16. The local
D. A. R. organization was second in
the women’s group and the Alpha Chi
Omega third.
The Acacia, Masonic fraternity was
the leader of the men’s group, with
an average of 6.45, with the Tillicums,
non-fraternity organization, second
and the Beta Theta Pi fraternity third.
The all-University scholastic aver
age increased from 5.8 in 1922-23 to
6 03 last year, the raise being directly
due to the improved grades re
ceived by the women. Twenty-three
women’s organizations were above the
all-U average while only six men”s
organizations were in that position.
The non-sorority and non-fraternity
groups led the fraternity and soror
ity groups scholastically although the
very lowest women’s group was above
the all-fraternity men’s group.
Twenty-three men’s organizations
were below the lowest women’s or
ganization.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required. •
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
