...suggestion such as this sounds much more startling to men in the University than to others, for in fourteen colleges, including Princeton and Williams, courses of much the same type have already been given and proved satisfactory. The Association is basing its report rather on experimental cases than on a novel suggestion of its own, and it is hoping to make easier a difficult step in each student's progress--the transition from preparatory school to college. It is bearing in mind the case of the student who passed his entrance examinations with honor marks, and then received four...

History reports it appeared before as a hybrid insect, related to the late frivolous sheet, "The Harvard Magazine", or the "Mag".
