Unless the "Lives" are filled out and sent to me, the men neglecting to do this will not appear in the Class Album, and will not be on record as members of the class of 1912. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary that those men who are to leave College at mid-years should attend to this immediately...
...task of modern philosophy lies in the field of religion. To make a religion sensible, one that appeals to the average man, this is the noblest and at the same time the hardest problem of philosophy.

...course from its beginning, as well as from the preceding test, the importance of the mid-year examinations in course lasting the entire year should be lessened. In any event the student should be in a much better position to do well on the semi-annual papers by reason of the work done for the frequent tests. This change, then, which in the last analysis is no more than an adaptation of the examination system to the natural inclinations of the average student, should result in better average scholarship...
