...hasty should be done about this. The final examinations are already scheduled and cannot be changed. The factor of added expenses in proctoring must also be figured. By and large, however, the added fifteen minute period should be considered by the heads of the courses and departments with a view to determining its possible benefit in courses as well as divisional examinations. Next year some improvement could be effected, even though it is too late in the current season to benefit the Class of 1938. And the quarter hour can also be used by those who can find nothing better...
...view that the Classics here have existed in an intellectual vacuum for a long time is inescapable. For instance, the impression that the lectures in Greek 12 one the history of Classical Greek literature are in their third generation, having passed more or less unchanged from Goodwin to Smyth to Jackson, is generally held and supinely accepted. Whether this is literally so or not, the attitude indicated shows the abject respect for established thought and the consequent stultification which now paralyzes the department.

Yet when the University attempts to explain away the situation, it invariably points to a number of men, not admitted, but "ineligible." How can a University boasting a liberal point of view condone a system of education which segregates the poorer students, so that they may steep together (sic) in their intellectual inertia? Is not the House just the place where they might find the stimulation they need through contact with students of other intellectual levels...
...yard run was gratifying to Crimson fans. Jim Light-body, Tudor Richards, and Frannie King swept around the turn in a pre-arranged formation which left the home stretch clear for them to finish in that order. Light-body's time of 50.6 seconds was adequate in view of the fact that he was entered in the low hurdles later in the afternoon...
