...much less seldom if each instructor would state at the beginning of the course on what general basis he makes out his marks. The student generally finds this out for himself at the end of the year, but it would be much more satisfactory if the instructor would tell him at the beginning. At the end of the year a student frequently troubles an instructor to explain his mark. "Oh," says the instructor, "I mark at least fifty per cent, on work done in the class room. You wrote a good paper, but your daily work brought you down...
Today Ninety-one's undergraduate life will close. It is for us who are left behind to tell how successfully her course has been run. We wish we could find words graceful enough to pay even a part of the tribute which is owing to the class about to graduate.

Germanic ideas are losing ground in Austria and the Pope has practically gone...
...nothing to lighten the sorrow of those upon whom the death of our collegemate falls heaviest. But in offering our sincere sympathy to his family and intimate friends, we want to tell them how large was the place which he occupied in our hearts. Although he never brought himself forward as a leader in college affairs, he was widely known in his class, and highly esteemed by all those with whom he came in contact. The regard and love which they had for him was shown by their constant care during his illness: by their common sympathy at the last...
