...Student Council and the writer of your editorial of May 24 are at fault, I think, both as to the best method of grading men's work, and as to the influence which the change they propose would have on professional tutoring. As, however, my concern here is with tutoring only, and as I have no desire to trespass upon the preserves of the pedagogical theorists, I need say regarding the grading merely that a piece-meal disposal of a course does not seem to me to spell scholarship.

Those who think Mr. Thomas Lawson's political advertisements better reading than the Monthly ought to look at Mr. C. V. Wright's essay, "A Lost Art". He champions the old Gregorian music like a Sir Kay; to him all church choirs not consecrated to the old plain chant are "merely formed for the use of tenors and fat women."

...past week now leads us to look forward confidently to a Harvard victory. Last year we lost to Yale; the year before we won by the smallest of margins; and now the meets stand ten apiece. It is almost needless to say that the team realizes this situation. We think that very little urging will bring out a large and far more enthusiastic backing than cheered the team to victory last Saturday. We are not overconfident; we firmly believe than the team is going to win, but we also feel that every bit of support the College can give...
