...student's learning. If that indication is derived so indiscriminately as to reward a student who has worked six hours as much or more than one who has worked six weeks, I judge there is to be a fault in the method of deriving it. And I question such transactions as that of the CRIMSON Editor with the Department of History. I merely wish to say that one ought not to revile Mr. Cramer's successes, where with a little reason it will be plain that the failures of the examination system are accountable...
Little more was to be gained by fur ther tutoring at this point, at least as far as the CRIMSON was concerned, so in the interests of economy I did the rest of the work for the hour exam myself. The grade tells the story; on the essay question, answered largely with the material covered in my tutoring sessions, I got an A minus; on the short-answer questions, my own contribution, a C plus...

Some of these close-ups function forcefully in the storytelling; but too many are as nonfunctional as her frequent changes of hairdo. It looks as if Hitchcock, one of the smartest directors of women...
...arrival of FM radio was a big help. With conventional AM, the static from any passing streetcar could distort a "fax" page. FM made for smooth reception, but it raised an intriguing question. Since a broadcaster could convert to facsimile for $10,000 to $15,000, what was to prevent anyone with an FM license from going into the newspaper business...
