...that, whatever combination of studies we have to deal with, individual marks and averages must be on a coarse scale; the system I suggest will be less definite, but more correct and just, than the present system. And it will serve the purposes of the university in determining degrees and honors. But it will do away entirely with our system of class ranking, because no such individual comparison can be justly made under an elective system. Each man will simply get credit for what he has done, and he will therefore aim at true proficiency, in place of any false...

I can give him all the names be wants for my way of spelling it, whereas I am afraid he would be hard put to obtain seven well...
...college receives with due appreciation the first of the new edition of summons cards. Beautiful in fresh type, stiff cardboard, and correct heraldry they will form a welcome addition to the bric-a-brac of many an abode of study. Perhaps we ought to rest content with the state of excellence which the cards have now reached, yet we cannot refrain from the hope that eighty-nine may some day be summoned by a billet blazing in crimson and gold, and borne by a boy in buttons...
