[At Princeton University, Grumbling About Grade Deflation - NYTimes.com](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/education/31princeton.html?hpw)

I don’t think current Princeton students would have a problem with this if graduate and professional schools were more aware of the system at Princeton, but the sketchy information I have seen seems to indicate that they are largely in the dark, in spite of efforts by Princeton to highlight the grading system.
Maybe this article will help.
Grades on transcripts at Dartmouth are followed by a + sign or a - sign, to indicate that the student stood in the top or bottom half of the class in each course. Another attempt to deal with grade inflation.
