...student's scholastic standing depends solely upon the grades he receives in courses. Honors, probation, expulsion are all adjudged according to course records. Tutorial work is supposedly recognized as necessary for success at divisional examinations; but for the majority of the undergraduates divisionals are a very remote and unthreatening hazard. What is of great and immediate importance is University Hall's record of grades. Tutorial work is therefore naturally the first to suffer when a student finds himself pressed for time, and that is always. The drowning sailor thinks of the wave which threatens to engulf him at the moment...
...When the New York Times editorial, quoted in an adjacent column, shows by repeated examples that college graduates do not furnish nine out of every ten leaders in society, it is not to be inferred that this excellent journal has gone over to the opposition. It is safe to hazard the guess that if the New York Times had a son, it would send him to college. What the Times does assert is that Mr. Albert E. Wiggam has played with his figures and got the answer he wanted, but, like Goldberg's famous Bughouse Fables, they don't mean...

...handled with circumspection in production and distribution. The "Ethyl Gasoline," gasoline treated with tetraethyl lead, is far less dangerous, containing only "about 1 part in 1,000" of the tetraethyl lead. There are three possible sources of danger in handling the tetraethyl lead and "Ethyl Gasoline": 1) The hazard in the manufacturing and handling of the concentrated tetraethyl lead. This hazard occurs in the manufacturing plant. 2) The possible hazard in handling the Ethyl Gasoline (1 part of tetraethyl lead to 1,000 parts of gasoline). This possible hazard may affect those handling Ethyl Gasoline. 3) The possible hazard...
...courage go out of a horse, the fire die in him that made him swift, so that though he runs against equals in a valiant race and every flag is lifted for his triumph, his heart fails him in the hazard of his task, he falters and cannot win. It was a sad thing that happened, last week, at Laurel, Md. There Epinard was running ; the race, the Laurel Stakes; the distance, one mile; the prize, $10,000.
