...that he said it in 1914. The pendulum continued to swing beyond anything Mr. Mohr or his purity department could have foreseen. What was then a pioneering stand for frankness has become virtually commonplace, and what was then upsetting delicate souls or stomachs is now casually discussed in the classroom...

Yet, teaching fellows bear a great deal of classroom responsibility, especially in introductory courses such as mathematics or languages. The University attaches a great deal of importance to the tutorial program as an antidote to Berkeley-like "impersonality," and teaching fellows are the mainstay of most tutorials.
