...Legi cum multa voluptate epistolam Quindecim Harvardensium in vestro numero hujus hebdomadis. Sunt autem in ea quaedam expressiones quae eram attonitus videre; quia videntur mihi non satis classicae. Pro exemplo, "Multi Bullyi" debet esse (existimo) "Sortes Bullyorum," quia est multa differentia inter "Multi" et "Sortes," ut omne corpus scit. Exceptionem quoque caperem ad expressionem "ludum vilis globi" quae non in ullo bono scriptore possis invenire, et quae in mea opinione debet esse "humilis pilae." Non scire hoc crassam ignoran tiam arguit...

If in the change of regulations a higher standard had been the object of the faculty, we should not complain; but since the faculty, in whose opinion the present standard is sufficiently high, have incidentally raised it by what practically amounts...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - In the new "Regulations of the Faculty of Harvard College," there is one rule that seems to be very unfair. I refer to the clause in section 27 relating to degrees cum laude, in which it is distinctly stated that no student who has ever fallen below grade C (I suppose the old 55 per cent.) shall be recommended for such a degree.
