Description
Summary:A longitudinal study of 369 freshmen who entered college at one large midwestern Catholic seminary was made to test the hypothesis that graduates of minor seminaries demonstrate no greater perseverance through the collegiate and theological years of seminary life than do graduates from other types of high schools. The hypothesis was clearly refuted. Minor seminary graduates showed an appreciably superior perseverance rate, followed, in order, by graduates of all-boys Catholic high schools, public high schools, and coeducational Catholic high schools.
