...student is at liberty either to accept the result, or to take the course throughout the year; in this case, the marks are to be so lowered that many students would not have accepted them, and this is done when it is too late to take the course. Men, whose positions on the rank list have been assured, will be disappointed; and others, if the plan is strictly followed, will be brought below the necessary 50%. The general principle on which this action is based is not a good one. If instructors are to have this power of changing marks...
...HIGH and venerable officer of the College, who has its good order at heart, took occasion to blame a certain policeman whose beat is near the Campus, because he did not prevent sundry little escapades of the students, whereupon the insulted Majesty-of-the-Law braced himself up and replied, 'Now look a'here; if you know my business better than I do, you just take my club and travel. I'll resign.' Notwithstanding this generous offer, the Corporation is not represented on the police force." - Brunonian...
...followed, a man is marked, not on what he does, but on what he fails to do. In courses where marking by the "curve system" is in vogue, we cannot of course complain, as that system is said to be "absolutely infallible."

At the risk of being included among the disciples of "the Mother-Goose School," we confess to having been utterly puzzled by the metre of the poem in question. It is, as the author tells us, "suggested...
...batted Cruger with comparative ease. Had our pitcher been in the good condition in which we have seen him, their base-hit column would not have amounted to so much, we can safely say. For Yale, Lamb led at the bat and in the field, closely followed by Walden, whose play at second base was good. Thompson and Borie struck well, but the former did poorly at short. Ives, who is also catcher of the University Nine, hardly came up to the standard we had expected. The Yale Freshmen are a strong batting nine throughout...
