...think that our correspondent of yesterday is quite right in his complaint against the low range of marks adopted in a certain German course. The suggestion that a fixed amount, say five or ten, or a certain percentage be added to each mark has considerable weight. There can be no doubt that the greatest evil of the marking system is that no unity or equality of standards, seems to be attained by the body of instructors. Fifty per cent. with Prof. A may often be set against seventy or seventy-five per cent. with Prof. B; in courses which require...
...constant recurrence of changes in its educational systems. We Americans are striving to attain the standard of perfection, and, -though that standard be a lofty one, and though we overturn and trample upon many a venerable institution to reach it-we persuade ourselves that our endeavors are in the right direction, and that the success that shall crown our efforts is almost within our grasp.

The overseers and corporation are the persons who have the power to say whether such things as voluntary prayers shall or shall not be; but a favorable vote on the part of the faculty cannot help having...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- Now that the examinations are over, and all is passed, except the marks, we should like to exercise our right to growl a little. In the lectures which Prof. Palmer gave in English 7, notice was given that the lecture devoted to Gay and Prior would not be required for the examination. In spite of this declaration, however, one of the required questions was upon these two authors, and another required question contained passages from these authors, which we were expected to recognize. It would seem, therefore, that "someone had blundered," or that our instructors expect...
