...extra fifteen minutes for a leisurely perusal of the questions, should enable a student to organize what knowledge he has to the best of his ability, instead of beginning a rash attack on the first question without trying to perceive its possible relation to later questions. A quiet and sane outlook on the examination as a whole will enable the student better to understand what kind of answers the professor probably had in mind when he made out each individual question--and such an insight is often more valuable than last minute factual cramming. --The Princetonian...

Never much given to the sort of sane nonsense that so often appears among American undergraduates, they are deprived of the counterbalancing influence of such pranks as that of the Michael Mullins Chowder and Marching Club. If any German student were to appear on a university campus with a sign reading "Down with war!" he would be mobbed and probably arrested. And yet this sort of tactics at Harvard made a farce of what would, if taken seriously, have been an exhibition of sophomoric folly. So long...
