...various grades of students in a college seems to be the principal objective of the many new schemes that are being promulgated this fall by American college presidents. Swarthmore's system, as recently outlined by President Aydelotte, would be to divide the college into two groups, the brilliant scholars and the mediocre; and to demand of the former a greater amount and a higher standard of work for their degrees.

After this magnificent fight, a feeling of over-confidence, which was to prove fatal, spread over the Crimson camp. Last Saturday, Centre again invaded the Stadium and this time, under the brilliant leadership of "Bo" McMillan, carried home a 6-0 win.

In the only meet they have entered so far, Arlington hopelessly swamped St. John's High School.

The third was distinguished by some of the most brilliant tennis the tournament has yet seen. Sweeping into the lead at the first the former interscholastic star had the match at 2-2, when Herndon's play suddenly stiffened. Five times the Freshman player had match point, and lost. In the end the stamina and steadiness of the older player...
