The case is aggravated when an instructor, to all appearances simply from neglect, makes men use up unprofitably a large part of the three hours which are so valuable to all, and during which some may be laboring for their very collegiate existence.

Just as though such losses were not the inevitable result of previous, long-continued neglect of duty; and they would be borne as such by men who were not so childish as to need a master, and who were brave enough to recognize their own responsibility for their acts and to abide by the consequences. Well, make believe they are men, and give them voluntary...
