In the present case, while we cannot encourage so aggressive a method of reaching the desired end, we see an example of what without doubt is now causing more trouble than may appear. The day has been invariably marked ??? general courtesy upon the part of the underclassmen, and we are loth to think that in any case, tact and gentle-manly courtesy will not procure what is desired.

...becomes a matter of very great importance. The restrictions laid down for the direction of the student are few and the suggestions for his guidance still fewer. He is limited in making his choice to "those studies which his previous training qualifies him to pursue," but it does not appear that any systematic method is employed to ascertain the qualification. It seems to remain largely in the discretion of the teachers. There are certain courses that can be taken only with the consent of the instructor, and certain courses which can be taken only after others have been pursued that...
