All students had identifica tion pictures taken as a part of the registra tion program. New students—some 1,300—registered on Monday, Sept. 12, and then devoted much of Tuesday and Wednesday to tests given under the direction of Edward R. Quinn, '28, head of the Guidance and Testing De partment. Six tests were given: for scholastic aptitude, for achievement in English, social science, natural science and mathematics, and for religious placement. Results of these tests will later be made known individually to the students who took them and the same results are available for the study of faculty members concerned with them. In the De partment of Religion the students are "sectioned" according to results of the re ligious placement test, which is, it is im portant to note, the work of Rev. William F. Cunningham, C.S.C., director of the fac ulty, and long a nationally-recognized expert in educational matters. In the same battery of tests a year ago, the incoming Notre Dame students achieved a ranking 14 points above the national aver age for the same tests in many colleges.
