...judged for future permanent appointments largely on their academic accomplishments. Supporters of the Burr plan point out that departments will consider these twin duties when deciding permanent appointments. Although this may be true, academic competition extends, beyond the University. From a failure to understand the full meaning the Burr Tutorship, other institutions would be more likely to pass over these men in favor of others with academic records superficially more attractive...
Cheever's time for relaxation, however, seems to dwindle every year.

The academic year for the upper classes began on Thursday; for Freshmen, some of whom were examined for admission in the last three days of the week, it began on the following Monday. On Saturday half of the Freshmen...
