...hoped that the measures taken at the last yard concert, to keep the mucker element at a proper distance, are but the beginnings of an action still more stringent and effective.

One of the strongest arguments against the elective system has been that an average freshman or sophomore is not of a sufficiently mature judgment to be fitted for a proper choice of what studies he ought to pursue. Harvard has in the past strongly urged the students to consult with the professors before making a final choice of studies.
