...more I thought it over, the greater appeared the value of my friend's suggestion. Instead of importuning great men like Mr. Hayes for their autographs, I might take my phonograph into Memorial Hall on the occasion of the next Alumni dinner and get his autophone...
...student is at liberty either to accept the result, or to take the course throughout the year; in this case, the marks are to be so lowered that many students would not have accepted them, and this is done when it is too late to take the course.
