by RALPH BENNETT
Fellow and Tutor,
Magdalene College, Cambridge
To select its undergraduates, Magdalene uses three things: reports from schools, a 45-minute interview, and a College examination. Of all selection systems Mr. Bennett considers this to be the least faulty, because it tries to take account both of brains and of the ability to use them.
