...Kuno Fisher. There is no more noted man in Heidelberg to-day than Kuno Fisher, and none whose works are better known in the United States. American students at Heidelberg are always partial to him, both because of his celebrity and because of his exceptionally clear and distinct pronunciation of his mother tongue.

There were three distinct lines of thought expressed. A number favored the resolution, feeling that it embodied the best method of acting directly on college opinion; that it would stimulate a healthy sentiment which would blot out cribbing by making it unpopular; and that the students at large when thoroughly conversant with the case would...
