...through the year. Very good; but there are many men who do work faithfully and evenly through the year, but by accident, sickness or stupidity get low marks on the mid-years. naturally such men want to know how they stand. The work of marking the books has got to be done some time, and it might just as well be done now. There is no such damper to honest, zealous work as being obliged to do that work in the darkness of uncertainty...

For instance, a student said to the president that the "organization of Memorial was fundamentally vicious, as the steward had an interest in making the board bad, as he got 50 per cent. of every order." This is "fundamentally" wrong. An officer of the Hall did not know that the directors could dismiss the steward without consulting anybody, yet all this is in the "Scheme for carrying on the Hall." Courtesy for other bodies often obliges the faculty to withhold...
