A curious mania for "strong writing" seems always to be co-existent in the college...
...action of Mr. Gunn in refusing to accept the appointment as valedictorian, has been followed by others of those receiving appointments, and their action is sustained by the whole college. The marking system is unanimously denounced, and it is hoped that the present movement may result in a change, especially as many of the faculty are known to be hostile to the whole system.
