...Again we feel it necessary to deny the semi-annual statement of the Yale News concerning the large number of editors with which our paper is carried on. This time the New Haven oracle puts it at twenty-five, where as the real number is twelve, not including the three business editors. From time to time the News manufactures such items for its readers, pointing proudly to its own board of eleven, the publication of which, by the way, serves to help fill up the editorial column every issue.

We are too apt to become wrapped up in our own course of study and thus be led to give little or no attention to the studies of others. One evening or two a week could not be better...
...without subjecting the students to the worry and annoyance which were the inevitable accompaniments of the old-time required examinations. Those who are up in their work, under the new system, are rewarded by being allowed to omit a portion of some three-hour paper, while the men who feel that a little further preparation would do them no harm, are given the chance to make one more trial to raise their mark...
