Finally, I would recommend that the course be six times a week, from quarter of nine to nine every morning. The authorities to be used, are the Herald, the Globe, or the Journal.

This plan I am sure would please everybody, especially the anti-Chapel agitators, and those who are anxious to do away with the present marking system, for in this course there would be no marks given, or no examinations...
...generations more familiar with the great strife which it was not our fortune to witness. The increased interest in American history manifested by our undergraduates warrants us in the assertion that another course of lectures, similar in scope to that we have mentioned, would be extremely acceptable.

What we wanted, what we expected was a recommendation to the faculty of a plan decreasing the present evils. This would have been an indication of student opinion. To the argument that "students cannot expect to originate a plan that will recommend itself to professors who have lived for years in an atmosphere of marks," we should answer that...
