...days when Mamma beamed her joy over the coveted "Ex" in deportment: No matter how gray the skies may hang over such courses as Philosophy A or Evolution 6, the mediocre but conscientious Tufts student can now know that the brightest of silver linings beams out from the old report card with an A in Conventional Religion 1. It is better perhaps not to consider the fate of the always possible naughty boy who by a miscalculation or the failure of the alarm clock rates the abhorred FF.
