...secret or otherwise, were founded for social purposes, and are carried on with this end in view. But there is one notable exception to this the society to which those only are admitted who have shown themselves of permanent ability in regard to scholarship throughout their college course. I refer...
ABOUT THE CAGE.EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Although I see your columns flooded with communications of complaint and advice, yet I think that the reader will agree, upon careful thought, that the scheme I venture to propose, is one worthy of mention.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - One of "Portore's" suggestions in yesterdays issue of the CRIMSON certainly should be acted upon - and that immediately.

I refer to the clause in section 27 relating to degrees cum laude, in which it is distinctly stated that no student who has ever fallen below grade C (I suppose the old 55 per cent.) shall be recommended for such a degree. I don't see how the new regulations can be regarded as an improvement on the old ones, when such a rule exists. In the old regulations, a man had simply to make...
