"It is the purpose of this study to evaluate the results of the special battery of tests administered to freshmen and transfer students entering the Florida State University School of Music over a two year period, 1953 and 1954, together with the success of these students in Music Theory 101. It is the further purpose of this study to evaluate the predictive and/or placement value of this battery in terms of freshman theory course requirements. No attempt has been made to show the effects of motivation, instructors, or pre-college training upon grades. Neither is the predictive value of this battery of tests determined in regard to the success of a student in any subject other than Music Theory 101"--Introduction. === Typescript. === "August, 1955." === "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Education." === Advisor: Robert L.
