DEAR SIRS.- Since at present the officers of this college are agitating the question of reform, I have thought that this communication may not be out of place. I wish to point out what seems to be a defect in oral examinations in this college. That examinations of this kind are here very rare must be admitted, but even so all cause for complaint either on the part of the professor or the student should be avoided so far as it is possible...

To remedy this difficulty, I wish to suggest that, where it is not already so, a third party-another professor, or some one with a knowledge of the subject-should be present at examinations of this kind. I know that this system is practiced in some other colleges...
...number of games is played. As usual the Base Ball Association has a large surplus, part of which it contributes for general athletics. The manager of the freshman football team deserves praise for his careful work resulting in a good surplus. The report is in general, satisfactory, though we wish the accounts could be given more in detail...
...college men, it is proposed to unite in a single organization all members of the University who are now engaged in any form of philanthropic work, or who are studying any part of the social question, or who are willing to be counted as allies in such service. I wish, therefore, to invite all students who are in any degree moved to this kind of interest, to meet informally at my house on Wednesday evening next, March 20, at 7.30 P. M. We shall then talk over a plan which seems to promise usefulness both to the college...
Seniors who wish to substitute Commencement Parts for theses will please give notice to Mr. Conant, before April...
