Article showed that the average first year academic achievement of the English students in Arts and Science was higher than that of the Scots both in 1969-70 and in 1972-73. Author then canvassed three possible explanations in terms of national differences in ability, in age and in previous familiarity with the work of the first university year. (Author/RK)
