We refer to that of attending lectures by proxy, of being marked present when in reality absent. The point of honor involved in this intentional deception is sufficiently obvious; but in the College today it seems to escape the attention of many who pass in the eyes of themselves and of their...
...connection with the recent semiannual examinations, there has been considerable condemnation of the system of proctors as adopted at Harvard.
