At the end of the fourth triad, the FRESHMAN CLASS has extended its lead, with 964,681 pages of pleasure reading—that’s fewer than 36,000 pages from a million!  The freshmen read 253,874 pages in the fourth triad, a total of 454 pages per freshman.  These freshman classes read the most pages per student in the fourth triad:

The teachers in the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT read 17,711 pages of pleasure reading in the fourth triad.  That’s an average of 886 pages per English teacher.
