...confidence required to pursue this policy. There is always something that has been forgotten to be looked up, and one last look is apt to suggest another. Tutoring is also extensively resorted to, and the students who are willing, for a consideration, to give their time to aiding their backward companions are kept busy. Some men make a business of this tutoring, and, if successful, win a college reputation. The fact that tutoring exists is, of course, known to the faculty, and sometimes encouraged by that body.

It is but natural that we should look back, first of all, upon the fall term which has just closed, but which already seems a long way in the past. To many of us, in fact we fear to a great majority, such a glance will give us cause to rejoice that there are still a few weeks before the examinations in which we can endeavor to make up for the time which...
