...induce men to take advantage of its track. So there is nothing to do but to fold our hands complacently, and pray Heaven to thicken the sod on Jarvis, so that it may be used some time. Meanwhile let us hope the Athletic Association will find some means to keep in a flicker - we don't say a blaze - the interest that should attend all manly and healthy sports...

That the so-called marking system has become a trite butt of undergraduate indignation we are well aware; but when we turn from the instructors who keep us in what seems to be unnecessary suspense, and contemplate those whose marking system is a mystery to all but themselves, we are tempted to remonstrate once again.

We cannot expect to put an end to vicious practices themselves by keeping the fact prominently in view that they are held unworthy of gentlemen, because some persons in college do not feel that this is much of an objection. But we can at least make men prefer to keep their misdoings secret rather than have the effrontery to boast of them publicly...
