...adage concerning the golden virtues of silence might be well enough in its place, but such a policy loses its charm when it is adopted by those who are in charge of announcing the time of examinations. In the present April hours there have been many courses in which were given no other than class room notices, and in some cases these were changed at various times so that unless the class was regularly attended, the student was, "out of luck", to use the words of an instructor...
...left to the mercies of the instructor. Frequently the instructor himself makes a mistake in the announcement, which, if provisions were properly made whereby all examinations were posted in the CRIMSON, would not have the disastrous effects it now has. If it is necessary to give hour examinations, it might be well to make some arrangement so that a man may be reasonably well assured of when and where he is to be examined. Zeroes that result from lack of sufficient notice of course quizes are neither to the credit of the courses nor fair to the student. Sincerely yours...
...hierarchy of social groups, which is thus made part of the Italian governmental machinery, is often decried as syndicalism.

To some extent this tendency to governmentalize the 'interest groups' is to be found in all modern states. But what...

The instructors could supply the notes and the student would acquire an idea of what the literature of that particular nation is like. Since it is required for many to enter these courses it would be well to offer them an opportunity to acquire some literary knowledge if merely due to constant exposure...
...conditions revealed by the report, they are very much what might have been expected. Except for men planning to take graduate work and who are definitely settled upon some science or profession, only the vaguest sort of intentions are revealed. It is on this ground that the report urges the creation of the new office of Vocational Guidance to be distinct from both the Student Employment Bureau and the Alumni Appointments Office. But there is another possible interpretation of the vagueness shown by the Seniors in their replies. Rather than a need for advice, the figures more probably indicate that...
