...asks our correspondent further, is there no other way of doing this ? This is a hard question to answer. We think that most instructors can gain a very fair idea of the work of their sections by some other method than the hour examination, but we are ready to admit that there may be isolated cases where this is really the only practicable way of obtaining such information. But even if the latter is the case, we doubt if they are advisable, for we thoroughly agree with our correspondent when he says that each examination breaks into...

No doubt the game of Saturday was just the thing to suit the majority of the spectators. It was a regular series of wrestling matches and fist fights, interspersed at times with fine play of foot-ball. We can reiterate the remark of a spectator who stood by us, which...
