Another cause for complaint that has reached loud proportions during the last week is the feeling among undergraduates that professors and tutors, who are allowed to take books out for as long as they desire, subject only to an annual spring check-up by the Library, are holding books longer than they have any right to them. Although it appears beyond reasonable doubt that most professors lean over backward to return books promptly for which there has been any demand, it is nevertheless true that some instructors in the University have built up tremendous aggregations of library books in their...
...number of notable defects in this course reaches an all-time high. Laboratory sessions constantly extend over the three-hour period.

Section meetings held once a week consist of a twenty minute quiz and a half-hour discussion. Poorly conducted as a rule, they are dull and profitless...
Most surprising is the opposition to the Oxford Card System which had much backing before the poll. A great deal of this opposition can be explained by a misunderstanding as to the working of that system, which many felt was just one more check-up in addition to the restrictions of the old rules.

Every dormitory resident deserves this attention to his living quarters, particularly since it would entail little additional expense...
