Notes:
1.  Data based on reports from the Furman Archives and Furman Planning & Institutional Research Office.
2.  The percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number, and only incorporate A-F grades.
In other words, other symbols such as I and W are not considered.
3.  Before 1952, F carried the same number of quality points as D.  Therefore, the average grade in 1951
at the time would have been considered as 2.47 (or a 1.47 on a 3-point scale).
4.  Starting in 1992, average grades include plus/minus.
