...Senior class, and that two hundred censure-marks, instead of three hundred, will incur special probation. This is sad news to the sybarite, but it seems only fair that those who enjoy the same privileges as Seniors should be called upon for an equal amount of hard work. The action of the Faculty is simply another step taken in raising the standard of the bachelor's degree...

If any decision in this matter is to be reached this summer it ought to be made at once, to enable the contestants to make the necessary preparations. As Mr. Livingston has taken the first step, it is only...
