...line which has not been playing up to standard. Soucy, at end, is falling into the duties of his new position quickly, and should be an improvement over Weatherhead, while Wallace, at center, backs up the line as a secondary defence even better than did Soucy, his most obvious fault being a tendency toward erratic passing to the punter. Pennock will be unable to play. Francke will make his first appearance in the backfield in place of Captain Brickley, and his performance will be watched with considerable interest on all sides...
...present issue is not a perfect specimen of its kind, it is not the fault of the board. Not only is material scarce at the beginning of the College year, but graduate editors--called in rather as distinguished contributors than as stopgaps--do not always excel undergraduates. In Norman Hapgood's article, "Germany's Disease," for instance, we have but a hurried and slight presentation of something that deserves fuller treatment and might receive better development at the hands of some undergraduate. It is well to dispute the larger avowals of Germany's "defensive" position which have gone forth backed...

The Overseers of the College, however, held a meeting, and by confirming the action of the President and tutors and announcing their resolution to support the subordinate government of the College, soon brought the scholars to a sense of their fault and a stop was put to the revolt...

The changes in admission requirements do not seem to have gone nearly far enough to satisfy the superintendents. "That the needed change has been so long in coming," says the report, "is largely the fault of the public school men, who have been content to accept the proposition that the college has an inherent right to direct the high school course." Many radical departures from even the newest plans of entrance requirements are proposed. If the changes come slowly it should at least be reassuring...
...cent of the Freshman class, while Group III has dropped to 25 per cent. The great change here, however, cannot be attributed to careful thought and discussion. The inauguration of a general oral examination for all students accounts for it largely. We have a reminder of a fault still extant. Men, as ever, are looking toward the "cinch", and as long as there is so great a disparity in the work required by different courses, they will continue to be influenced in their choice by other considerations than educational value...
