...justly concern ourselves, but of this we need not despair. We should not demand a Shakespeare every ten years; we should be grateful to have one Shakespeare. The present is, undoubtedly, a period of change, and the forms of literature are changing with everything else.

With these limitations in mind, the CRIMSON wishes to indicate briefly a few alterations which, lit believes, would increase the value of the tutorial System for both Tutor and Tutee. It is admittedly hazardous, in view of the separate needs of the various departments...
