YALE.The stand taken by the Courant is eminently sensible, and its statement of the reasons for the proposed move are, we think, the best yet made. It hopes that owing to the fact that considerable money has already been expended at Amherst and Dartmouth for next year's nines, the usual games will be played with those colleges this year. "It is thought," it says, "that by restricting the league to Harvard, Brown, Princeton and Yale, much more interesting and well-attended games will result. And if each nine plays a series of three games with each other nine...
...decided expression of opinion has yet come from Brown on the question. It is hoped that she will favor the move however. It will be seen from the above that although definite sentiments have not as yet been generally formed, a tendency to favor the move as an advisable reform is apparent.

...latter being necessitated to a high degree by the former. When lectures began to take the place of recitations and the courses became larger, it was found necessary to abandon the old plan of marking upon recitations. Thus it will be seen that there has been a decided move in the right direction, and it is not wholly outside the range of probability that some system of marks will in time be developed which will be as great an improvement over the present system as that is over the one which it has superseded...
