...Dardanelles. After the failure of that ill-fated expedition, he commanded the 17th Army Corps and afterwards, until 1917, the Canadian Corps. From that moment he became a Canadian hero and it was under his command that the Canadian troops covered themselves with immortal glory at Vimy Ridge. It was mainly because of his great popularity with Canadian soldiers of all ranks and with the people in the great Dominion that he was appointed to succeed the Duke of Devonshire, in 1921, as Governor-General of Canada.

...short, it appears that all three points in the editorial are ill taken. In order to secure consistancy of marks it is probably not necessary, perhaps even not best, to use the same system in courses of widely different degrees of objectivity of attainment, though it is surely possible.

...seeds of civil discord, why involve the whole United States in a controversy through these innocent Princetonians at a time when peace is ensured on every hand? Besides, this ill-advised action gives excuse to the more irresponsible portion of the press for a facetious excitement. "Harvard rushes to support baggy pants of old Nassau," headlines the New York Evening Post, a singularly careless statement and one showing that these breeks did need braces if a venerable and sister institution of learning really had to do this.
