...settle them yourself, turn to the authorities. If a man meets a difficulty he should try to solve it with the aid of the proper authorities, and he will be satisfied, if he is a reasonable man. Theology is a science, so appeal to experts; do not say that a thing is untrue because you find it so. Religion is a man's personal obligation to Christ. One should approach religion with a child's spirit and not with a student's spirit. Student spirit is for Theology. A man must go to the bottom and begin his religion...

And this, in face of the fact that the rigorously-minded instructors have not departed one jot or one tittle from their ancient rigor. I think I may safely say that I voice the opinion of the majority of the students (not that the majority have been dropped), when I urge that, if we must cling to the new marking system, the letter D be made to mean a mark from forty per cent. to fifty, instead of from forty...
