...sees his work again or not. For though some teachers are willing to hand back and discuss their students' papers, the average undergraduate has too often been forced to look on examinations as ancient history as soon as the proctor collects them. For the University to treat in so haphazard a fashion work that counts more heavily than any single factor in a college career is clearly a breach of trust, and a uniform system should be devised by which all who desire may get their books back at the end of a given course or term...

Opinion has been almost unanimous that the "double or nothing" rule represents a thoroughly haphazard and unworkable solution. The council of House Masters, meeting with President Conant, formulated the plan, and the bawling brat must be thrown into the lap of the latter immediately upon his return from England...
