...match between Smith and Armstrong was much closer. Armstrong took the first set with ease. The second set also went to him, but by a much narrower margin. In the third, he netted and made frequent outs. With the score at six all, Smith forced the play, and won the last two games. Armstrong steadied in the final match and won with little difficulty...
...There seems to be an unaccountable prejudice in most courses against having these meetings on any day but Friday and Saturday, and the result is that many men have perhaps three or four sections either on the same day or on two successive days. This not only leads to frequent difficulties of conflict, but it tends to concentrate an undigestible amount of work at one end of the week.

...Student Council recommends one which will do away with the evident faults outlined above. Instead of making the mid-year and final examinations count from fifty to eighty per cent. of a student's work in a course, the Council recommends that a system of regular hour examinations at frequent intervals be substituted, the mid-year and final examinations being counted much less than at present in making up the grades in a course. Under such a system regular study would take the place of irregular and uncertain endeavor; more regularity in work would lessen the evils of professional tutoring...
