ESPECIALLY there seems to be no reason why the requirement for Honorable Mention in English Composition should be 85 per cent, while in every thing else it is 80. Reference to past rank-lists will show that the highest marks given in themes and in English 5 average fully five per cent below those given in other courses, so that, using the scale adopted in other courses, the actual requirement for Honorable Mention in English Composition is practically about ten per cent higher than in other studies. Perhaps it is considered that Honorable Mention in English Composition...
...only bet I made, as I could not find anybody else who would give me better than two to one, and I knew the fellows would never consent to that. But it shows just what sort of fellows the Harvard men are, - they never will bet a cent unless they have a perfectly fat thing...
...case has arisen which the "Rules and Regulations" evidently have omitted to provide for. As the rules now stand, a student who enters College Sophomore year, and does not take enough studies in any one branch to get honorable mention, may have an average of 84 1/2 per cent and yet receive only an ordinary degree; in fact, a poorer degree than the four-years student with 65 per cent and an honorable mention. To draw the line still more sharply, in the case supposed (and such a case has actually occurred in the Senior class), the student...
...unusually high price of board at Memorial, $4.62 a week for the last month, is owing to two causes: (1) the quality of the board, which has been much better than in previous years; (2) the rise in the price of provisions. For example, eggs cost last year 13 cents a dozen, this year 22 cents, while all meats have risen one cent a pound over the price of last year. Coal, which forms a large item in the expenses, costs this year $5.83, last year only $3.40. In addition to all this, the fact that the Hall was opened...
...supposing that when the instructor was fatigued he counted the number of books, put an equal amount of numbers in a hat, and then drew them. Somehow or other only three denominations were used, consequently a large proportion of the books had either 73, 64 or 46 per cent. That from six to twelve students whose ranks varied largely last year, should all get 64 per cent, at once seemed strange to us, but our theory answers all objections, and must remain accepted until proved false...
