...returned. It seems to us, since a failure to present Themes and Forensics is attended with such serious consequences, that the present method of announcing the dates on which they are due can be improved. We would suggest that a printed schedule be given to each member of the three upper classes, which schedule is to contain the subjects for the different Themes and Forensics of the year, the different sections of the classes, the exact times for presenting and obtaining Themes and Forensics. If this method is adopted, much trouble will be obviated...
