...casual observer it would seem that a rearrangement of the lockers with a view to better sanitation and ventilation might greatly mitigate this evil. Crowded into small galleries, lockers are jammed tightly together, unventilated, dust-covered and filled with malodorous clothing. It does not seem too much to ask of the gymnasium authorities that the windows be opened and the galleries aired as much as possible, and that the lockers themselves be rearranged in order to secure adequate ventilation. Or even, if this last consummation be unattainable, they might be cleared out and cleaned at frequent intervals. Their present state...
...editorial in Saturday's CRIMSON in regard to the method of conducting section meetings seems to me to be very good as far as it goes, but I do not think that it reaches the real root of the evil. I believe the true source of the trouble lies not so much in the method of conducting these meetings, as in the section men themselves.

So it was not until the famous "Northern Securities" case was decided that it was clearly seen how tremendous was the power conveyed...
...chief evil of laying exclusive stress upon the degree, and of counting by courses, is that it fixes attention upon the pass mark. In order to correct this impression, and create a stronger desire for excellence, the institution of distinct honor and pass degrees, akin to the practice of the English universities, has often been suggested. Whether it would be wise to have different curricula for honors and for a pass, as in England, is by no means clear. The vital point is the importance which those universities have attached, and persuaded the public to attach, to the winning...
