...marking system. The conference, again, was not organized "to tell us, after three months of discussion, that the present marking system is unjust," nor were the resolutions passed designed to tell the students anything. They were intended to tell the faculty something, and this end, we claim, they will accomplish. The information will, we believe, be of positive worth to the faculty, and will render material assistance. Our correspondent again is relying wholly on imagination when he takes it for granted that the faculty are living in a "sterile atmosphere of extreme conservatism."

No plan will make the college career of lazy men brilliant. The advantage to industrious men of generous liberty of choice of studies, after they have made a fair...
...required work of the college is the change in the time at which the junior and senior theses are due. The thesis is due a week earlier from both juniors and seniors. This is, upon the whole, a change for the better, as it enables the student to accomplish earlier that portion of his required work which is always more or less a hindrance to his regular work in the college courses. The final work in forensics is in itself well calculated to occupy his leisure during the spring months. The further apart duties of this nature are kept...
