...short, if a difficult theoretical subject like logic or psychology or history of philosophy is really to reach a large number of beginners, it would be absurd for the instructor to feel influenced by such negative votes, unless he knew the quality of the voter. Above all it would be dangerous for our elective system, if serious students were guided by such a commentary in the choice of their courses. There may be poor courses in the University, but the chances are great that this kind of canvassing with this kind of answering and tabulating entirely distorts the picture...
...situation. A rule that persons qualifying under the present regulations should complete the requirements in three years, while four-year residents should be obliged to take a degree with distinction or fail, would remove most of the difficulties, provided that degree were brought within the reach of the average man after four years' moderate work. Such an innovation would certainly tend to heighten the intellectual standard of the entire College. In addition, the honor degree would in all probability prove so much more valuable and asset as to induce the majority of those who are now graduated in three years...

None the less, complaints almost never reach the College Office, and in the past three years only two instances have come to our notice.

On the final stretch he carefully gauged the distance between himself and French of Cornell, taking care to keep just out of reach. French in turn was in no danger of losing his position to Spitzer of Yale, who finished fourth...
...number of years the record in this event has been beaten and it is hardly likely that the present mark will remain for any length of time. Of the six men who cleared 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, Friday, Campbell of Yale was the only one to reach the new mark. Nelson of Yale failed to repeat his performance of the dual meet and tied with Barr of Harvard at 12 feet. Cook of Cornell and Pickles of Pennsylvania were not so fortunate as the day before and dropped out after 11 feet, 6 inches, tieing for fourth place...
