Upon examination of the records of the Harvard alumni who graduated from the Law School during the past twelve years, it was found that of those who received the simple A.B. seven per cent. attained the grade of A in the Law School; of A.B.'s cum laude, 20 per cent.; of A.B.'s magna cum laude, 40 per cent.; and of A.B.'s summa cum laude, 57 per cent.

He is then in the same category as a man who has anticipated English A, for whom only four courses are included under the regular tuition...
...Department of English has made a wise move in relieving from prescription in English A, Freshmen who have maintained a high grade in this course during the first half-year. There is, however, an unfairness, probably of omission rather than commission, connected with this change. As matters now stand, those men relieved from prescription must pay an additional fee, if they wish to continue English A as an elective half-course during the second half-year. This is palpably unfair, as it sets a premium on mediocrity. Such an error or oversight should be corrected at once. FRESHMAN...
