Approximately 45 per cent of the class came in under the Old plan of College Board Examinations, 40 per cent under the New Plan, and the remaining 15 per cent under the Highest Seventh Plan This indicates a decided reversion to the original plan of spreading the College Board examinations over a period of years and stands in contrast to the situation last year when the New Plan was more popular by 100 candidates. It is the policy of the College to advise high and preparatory school students to center by the New Plan and to discourage especially...

How easy and safe to have written merely a dignified gloat over the victory. It is what ninety per cent of us would have done had we been the editors on that Monday after the game, and our rah-rah effusion would have wasted the time of the few hundred local subscribers who read it. Instead, the CRIMSON publishes a real editorial. It is reprinted from Hanger to El Paso...
