...have read the announcement of changes in History courses for next year with interest and regret. Year after year students have wished for an adequate course on United States History since the Formation of the Union, and this year the Scholarship Committee of the Student Council has embodied a request for such a course in its recommendations. History 13 does not fulfill the object because it deals too minutely with constitutional and party development: History 17 covers only the History of the West. Thus there is no course which gives a general survey of our national development in such...
...essay which progresses evenly and clearly, Mr. Chubb searches for the attractions that have allured the undergraduate in other fields and tries to obtain those attractions for scholarship. For example, athletic sports have more sociability and dramatic appeal to offer; why not transfer these to the intellectual field? Mr. Chubb follows out this idea more cleverly, perhaps, than practically. His scheme would really come down to this: he would like the scholastic victor to be carried from the gridiron of intellectual contest on the (figurative) shoulders of his comrades amid the overwhelming cheers of a crowded (symbolic) stadium!

They will miss Sear, the star pitcher of last season, however, who has been declared ineligible because of deficiencies in, scholarship. Wood, who will pitch today, has performed very creditably in the big games this season, but has been poorly supported by the other members of the team...
...indications which we see are true, hints taken from perusals of our exchanges and from conversations with "foreign" visitors, there is a broad movement on foot among our colleges to spur men to higher scholarship. We believe that the greatest effect on the scholarship standard will be secured only when the prod is applied long before the men reach college, but we believe as firmly that a good deal can be done after they get there. If the Senior advisers, realizing as almost every Senior does that he is here to study, would seriously impress that idea upon their wards...
