...past time the custom prevailed for examinations to be filed by the college, in order to permit reference to the papers in cases of doubt in awarding degrees, and to insure against mistakes in grading. Recently this practice has become something of a dead letter, as there is no longer a central agency to supervise storing the books, and only in the rarest instances are students awake to the possibility of protesting their grade and demanding a check, especially when the summer exodus has taken place. Thus the tradition of not returning blue books has become a smoke-screen behind...

Promising athletes would spend the morning brushing up on their studies, the afternoon exhibiting their wares to the coach. Those who showed up well in both tests would...
There are many undergraduates who rebel at the appalling waste of time which is enforced by a custom of long years' standing. Toward these men the college authorities should adopt an encouraging attitude, instead of opposing them by such regulation as the extra course rule. Why should a man have an extra course piled on him simply because he tries to cover the work in less time than his less energetic classmates...
