With the recommendations of the Phillips Brooks House Law School Committee for greater athletic facilities and an organization of intramural sports, another Easter egg has rolled into the lap of the H. A. A., which the Committee for the Regulation of Sports can open up after vacation. Because of the rigors of legal education, the law students, even more than the undergraduates, suffer when their facilities for exercise are inadequate or maladministered. Dr. Bock's observation that many young barristers ailing at Stillman are victims of poor physical training should clarify the need for dealing out a new pack...

But tinkering with the tutorial system is a poor palliative for the hardship worked by the present system. The cure is course revision. The tutorial system is now lugging the heavyload placed in its lap by poorly organized courses. Instead of taking up problems arising from course lectures and readings, the tutorial system is trying to plug the gap between courses. This is an inefficient and half-baked way of giving another course. Much more benefit can be derived from a tutorial system making an intensive...
