...education which has given rise to as much discussion and theorizing as this of examinations, how they are to be conducted and how far they are to be taken as a test. That the present system, which carries with it all the evils of the marking system, is unfair, is almost universally acknowledged; but that something is needed whereby to grade the classes and sections of classes, some measure or test of knowledge, is as universally agreed upon. Instructors say that they cannot do away with the present system of examinations and marking, until there is found some system...
...subscribers, but we confess that we fail to see exactly what bearing this list of notables has upon the subject under discussion. We do not think the facts affect the position of the CRIMSON. We attempted to show that to exclude Negroes, simply because they were Negroes, was manifestly unfair, and could not react with good effect upon Harvard, and this point we still maintain...

It would make men want their opponents to play "off-side," and so would induce them to irritate their opponents into unfair plays by which their own side would score. I think that anyone will admit that the present rules would be strict enough, if it were possible for the referee to watch every man, and see every "foul" and "off-side" play. It seems to me that the best change that could...
