Hence Dame Rumor becomes chief pilot. She should certainly be ousted as generally untrustworthy. Too often a student hears a course laconically described with one or two adjectives, and when actually enrolled in the course, finds that he differs heartily from the gratuitous snap judgment. When the tutors can give no aid, the best-informed source of advice to be found is in the department itself, where the chairman and senior tutor act in the capacity of "contact men."

They have no way of forcing their tutees to work, of putting them on their own probation if they are wasting the value of Harvard. The tutor is in a position to judge whether his tutee is coasting through college with the help of tutoring bureaus, or whether...
