...that the class races are over and settled, it behooves us to take from them one important lesson. It has always been understood that the class crews were simply a sort of preparatory school for training university oarsmen, and that their whole existence was for this end. When, therefore, a crew decides to row an entirely different stroke than that which the university employs, it is necessary to ask whether such a step does not constitute a dangerous precedent for future crews. While it may be held to be still an open question as to whether the fast stroke...
...uncertain statements of the regulations have always allowed the inference that, to a certain extent, attendance upon recitations was voluntary. All that was necessary, was that a student should show sufficient ground for supposing that the purposes of his residence were being carried out. Of course, continuous residence was understood, but absence for such a short period as three days seemed to be considered allowable. Whether or not the student was fulfilling those purposes, was supposed to be indicated by the result of his examinations. Still, the faculty, while allowing considerable liberty to the student, always retained the right...
Although the faculty did not directly recognize any principle of voluntary recitations, the utterances of individual members and the generally understood tendency of the university administration seemed to imply that a system of government was aimed at which should place the largest responsibility on the student. The paternal system of government was relegated to such colleges as Yale, and Harvard was understood to be striving after the high standard of the German universities where the university offers the student the opportunity of receiving instruction, which he may take advantage of or not, just as he chooses. This tendency has been...
...college students is willing to be imposed upon. The assurance that "if the association will wait a little longer, it will come into possession of all the courts" will hardly satisfy those students whose stay in college is limited. The facts of the case are that it was understood last year that as each court was abandoned, it was to become the property of the association and was not to be reassigned to any individual players. If our information is true, this understanding has not been observed, as several courts which became vacant at the end of last year, have...
...seems that the committees' former notice on this subject was either misunderstood or else overlooked by the class, for very few lists have yet been sent in. The committee wish it fully understood that all lists must be handed in before April 3d, to ensure getting the pictures by Class Day. Those men who do not send in their lists before the spring recess have only themselves to blame, if their orders do not come, for Mr. Pach has declared plainly that he cannot promise to fill belated orders before commencement...
