...debt by the end of the academic year. As some misunderstanding has existed in regard to the matter, it may be stated again that the base ball association assumed no more power in regard to the money than they had under the agreement; they did not affix the condition, that was done by the committee...
...nothing more than graduation from a higher institution of learning. It threw some light on the probable courses of study of the recipient, but none at all on the quality of his instruction or the height of culture and discipline attained. For all practical purposes it was necessary to affix the name of the college or "university" conferring the degree.

It saves trouble to read through a book and affix to it a cabalistic sign. On the other hand, it requires care and judgment to note accurately the worth of daily work. But an instructor's estimate of men, not marks, would be the fairer method. Two examinations - one upon entrance, one for a degree - would obviate the difficulties of a continuous struggle for marks; if this change be too radical, let rank...
