...problem of the first of a year, the selection of a full set of new courses. Each man will rush from professor to faculty adviser, and from faculty adviser to Miss Monk in a wild effort to determine how many of the one-third and two-third courses that seem in vogue at present are necessary to satisfy that exacting band known as the Committee on the Choice of Electives. The little green pamphlet shows, among other things, that the war has made itself felt in more departments than that of German; many courses are bracketed...

Statistics of the oarsmen show that the University outweighs the Eli eight pounds...
