THERE is one improvement, however, which should be made immediately; the marks assigned to each forensic should be announced. We do not see what objection there could be to doing this, and the advantages would be obvious. A student could then tell the relation of his own forensics to each other, and to those of other men. But if, for some inscrutable reason, this favor cannot be granted, the separate marks given to each forensic should at least be announced when the last forensic has been examined, and not merely the average on all. We make this request with...
...deciding the character of this regatta according to the expense involved, or the preferences of a minority of the college world, has been proved conclusively a failure. It is desirable, however, that the crews of American colleges should meet occasionally and measure blades, and for this purpose we see no more feasible plan than that proposed by the National Association.

Granted. Of course it was. I cannot see how any one could resist the appeal of such an accumulation of diseases...
...Occasion to go to the Library this morning as late as twelve o'clock to consult some books reserved for French 4. Not finding them on the reserved shelves, I looked round the Library to see if any one was reading them, and also looked on the shelves where they belong, but they were nowhere to be seen. Having requested at the desk that they should be hunted up, I resigned myself to the inevitable, and sat down to read another book. Presently I saw a resident graduate who attends the course, enter the Library with a pile of books...
