This great disgrace (for, no matter how it is explained away, it is a disgrace) might be remedied by exacting many more themes and forensics from those who should fall below a certain mark than are now required. There is no doubt that if the men were required to write a theme, say once a fortnight, the more obvious faults of their style - if they can be said to have a style - would be so often brought to their notice, that even the dullest could not help correcting them. The College has already taken this matter in hand...
...heliotypes are to be criticised by competent persons, and a standard set for the guidance of those who have the making of them in charge, and none will be accepted which fall below this standard.

Some have been already taken, and will probably be placed on exhibition within a few days...
