We have no desire now to break out into violent language, - to rail against "tyrants and oppressors," in speaking of the new rule by which every one who enjoys "the privilege of attending voluntary recitations" must obtain fifty per cent of the maximum mark on the work of each half-year, in each study. It is a rule, which, to persons outside, will seem reasonable enough, but which, in College, has caused much dissatisfaction to the best, as well as to the worst, of scholars. To point...
