...encouragement from the unparliamentary fashion in which business is presented. This tendency to let things slide--to rest content with results, and sometimes with no results--has its influence on a great number of our college enterprises. We collect our athletic subscriptions and sell our tickets in a slip-shod fashion. When the grievance becomes intolerable somebody remonstrates and we experience a reform. Naturally other enterprises take notice and adopt parts of the new system. But altogether we are slow to change, and we suffer long. One of the reasons for this is, I believe, that we do not accustom...
...game as a whole was very disappointing from the Harvard standpoint, for it showed that the team have not yet got rid of their slip-shod style of the past week, and that they can not hope to make a creditable record without a decided and immediate improvement...

We agree with our contemporary that this "is a very slip-shod manner of exchanging compliments."

...this factor in solving the weighty problem of electives, however unfortunate and harmful, theoretically, the practice may be. The marking system when in use at all should be merely a clerical devise for the classification of students, but when every instructor is permitted to ride his pet hobby rough shod over the necks of his pupils, and estimate work and standing by purely arbitrary standards, it is not very strange that men should in some measure attempt to equalize and justify the results each in his own particular case. It is not in human nature, even if it is theoretically...
