...measure is neither intense nor intelligent, while the Governor's call to arms is mere political chicanery. But the public confidence in the present method of choice of candidates is already so shaky, that this putative affront by over-alled bureaucracy may happily topple it. With an improved radio system relaying to a passive citizenry every shout of the peasant revolt outside the smoke filled hotel room where the nocturnal setters-up of presidents are bartering votes, it is possible that a disgusted populace may at last move to gain the right of choice of president that has been kept...
Notable beyond the embrasure of a system of concentration and distribution similar to that at Harvard in the report presented to the Yale faculty yesterday by the student council was the division in the student body that it recommended. After the second year, under the proffered plan, men who choose to elect honors will receive a distinctive degree, and be differentiated in privilege and work from those who prefer to complete their studies in the usual manner. This suggested discrimination is a direct result of the finding that the majority of the undergraduates, gentlemen but not scholars, neither desire...

The complete reservation of the Reading Period and the Tutorial System for the students who elect honors and retain their position with honor grades, may or may not be possible and desirable. But with the experiments with the Junior college, with classification of entrants, with such a pronouncement as that of the Yale council, acceptance of the obvious, in short., that freedom is stimulation and opportunity...

With the announcement of the results of the Putnam competition, our faith in the tutorial system has been greatly strengthened. The fact that Harvard won the first intercollegiate brain contest gives evidence of the asset which is acquired from a background of extensive tutorial reading. Indeed the time may come when Radcliffe will meet an opponent on this same field, especially since several women's colleges are now introducing the tutorial system. As both Radcliffe and Wellesley are famed for their English departments, we venture to predict a competition between these...
