...heartily indorse the views of the Advocate in regard to printing in the Catalogue the names of the holders of "Scholarships." Such a course will give an uncalled-for publicity to the names, and the fact that it will gratify the curiosity of a few is no reason for adopting it. The matter is a delicate one, and suggests the need of rewards for scholarship itself, in addition to the present general provision for pecuniary aid. If the Faculty persist in the course upon which they have determined, we may expect to find the names of those who hold "scholarships...
...June examinations was not made public until the 18th of May, and constant complaints, the natural outgrowth of this delay, appeared in the College papers. This year the Registrar has anticipated any similar complaints, and has printed the provisional schedule four weeks before the Annuals begin. The generous regard for our comfort and convenience, which has thus been shown by the members of the Faculty in giving us early notice of these crucial tests, deserves our hearty thanks.

In that capacity he is regarded by the students as competent and faithful, and his duties are performed in the most conscientious manner. But this does not prevent our condemnation of his system of marking, which we regard as absolutely wrong. Solid substantial instruction is the main object in taking any elective, and marks, whether high...
SINCE so much has lately been said in regard to a return to the first motto, "Veritas," it may not be out of place to give the interpretation of the second motto, given by Dr. Hedge in his now famous address to the Alumni, on the subject of University Reform (Atlantic, Sept. 1866): "The secularization of the College," he says, "is no violation of its motto, Christo et Ecclesioe. For, as I interpret these sacred ideas, the cause of Christ and the Church is advanced by whatever liberalizes and enriches and enlarges the mind. All study, scientifically pursued...
