Presumably this method was designed with a view to freeing the instructors from much petty haggling over grades, on the ground that the student's ignorance of his marks brings bliss to the instructor. Undoubtedly such freedom from tedious discussion and importunity is a blessing to the instructor. On the other hand, it leaves him defenceless against frequent suspicions of unfairness. It seems reasonable to expect that an instructor whose gradings are fair should be willing to support his judgment rather than take refuge behind a secret code of marks...
...Ground was broken Tuesday on St. Botolph street, Boston, for the construction of an enclosed skating rink, to be known as the Boston Arena. It is expected that the building will be up and the rink ready for use on January 1. If possible, arrangements will be made by the Harvard Athletic Association by which the University hockey team may use the rink for at least the more important home games. Two seventy-five ton refrigerating machines will supply ice under all conditions of weather. The building will have a seating capacity of five thousand...

As the balloon rises the hydrogen expands it until the balloon bursts, when the instruments fall to the ground. A height of eleven miles has been reached in this manner, a temperature of 111 degrees below zero, and a wind velocity of 101 miles an hour...

Harvard had the ball on Williams's 32-yard line, a forward pass to G. G. Browne hit the ground and Harvard was penalized fifteen yards. Then followed another exchange of kicks, on which Harvard gained; four rushes put the ball on Williams's 40-yard line and O'Flaherty tried another forward pass which went straight into the arms of J. Brooks. On the next play Lewis ran twenty...
