...beautiful run carried it far beyond the centre of the field. Here he was stopped, but L. Cushing got the ball and was making for their line when he was caught. He threw the ball to Rollins, who succeeded in gaining a touch-down. H. W. Cushing failed to mark the place with his heel, and on getting into the field, the Canadians charged, and thus an attempt for another goal was lost. The play was now nearly all on the Canadian side of the field. When time was called Keyes had obtained a touch-down...
...basis of this argument is the variability of human brain-power. This makes the system of marking solely on two three-hour examinations very unfair. For it is certainly not right, since no instructor or student is exempt from this condition of our mental and nervous constitution, to judge of a man's year's work by three hours' work of a brain which, acted on by many causes, favorable or unfavorable, may be either extremely active or extremely inactive at a time selected at random, so far as the individual student's health is concerned. Why should several...

...expected of them this year. The vote of the Faculty providing for their case has been shown us, and the requirement is simply this; in each half-year's work, on every study, those who enjoy the privilege of voluntary recitations must get fifty per cent of the maximum mark. In other words, a Senior who has a hundred per cent next February on the half-year's work in three of his electives, and but forty-nine in his fourth study, loses his degree. Sixty per cent is not the average required, as has been reported, but the Senior...
