...thus far has represented one type of college life, the exact opposite of which is represented by such an institution as the University of Michigan. The difference between the two types is expressed very inadequately by saying that at the one student life and ways of thinking have acquired certain common characteristics from the mere fact of the dormitory system, while at the other this element of college feeling is entirely lacking.

Here we have the tables turned. Two things seem certain from these facts, namely, that instructors should remember that it is a difficult thing to get the maximum mark in forensics, and that the same scale should be used in all other departments for marking forensics that is used in the English department, so that the rank list in forensics...
