EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- Now that the examinations are over, and all is passed, except the marks, we should like to exercise our right to growl a little. In the lectures which Prof. Palmer gave in English 7, notice was given that the lecture devoted to Gay and Prior would not be required for the examination. In spite of this declaration, however, one of the required questions was upon these two authors, and another required question contained passages from these authors, which we were expected to recognize. It would seem, therefore, that "someone had blundered," or that our instructors expect...
Examinations over, the students very naturally wish to learn their marks as soon as possible, except, perhaps, that small number of them who know that they are below par in a subject and want the marks delayed ad infinitum. In the courses in which there are only a few men, an early return of the blue books with the marks on them, is a matter of no exertion for the instructors. In such courses the longing of the students will be quickly satisfied, no doubt. But in other courses, where the men number hundreds, and one instructor has several such...
...have been contributed since the war-a fact of which the moral does not need to be pointed out. This total of $719,000 is exclusive of the gifts constituting part of the fixed endowment of the University, yielding a revenue which amounts to $282,600, all of which, except $2,600, has been also given since the war. Virginia has always been liberal to its University-"the glory of the Commonwealth" -allowing it at first $15,000 a year, and laterly $40,000.

Every boy is not fit to be sent to college, because it is not every one for whom a college education is beneficial. Properly applied, a college training is a sort of polish that adheres only to material of fine grain. Culture does not adorn every nature, and, except with the wealthy, the expensiveness of a college course should plainly indicate an expectation of some substantial return. Money should not be wasted in turning basswood into clock work machinery.- (Educational Monthly...
Financially, the Annex is in good condition. The receipts from tuition, which, by the way is $200, $50 more than the tuition at the college, are sufficient to pay all, except about $4000 of the expenses. This deficit is met by a fund, which is now about $75,000. When this fund reaches $100,000, the Annex will become a recognized part of Harvard University, and the young lady graduates will receive, instead of a certificate stating that they have satisfactorily completed a course of study at "The Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women"-the incorporate name...
