This is the reasoning on which the regulation is based. The result of such a rule in the vast majority of cases will undoubtedly be a good one, by preventing that continual postponement of examinations which is alike injurious to the student and troublesome to the instructor, but that injustice to a good scholar might sometimes follow from its rigorous enforcement is certainly possible. It is to be remarked, however, that it is possible for an absentee to attain the maximum mark by allowing the subject of the examination to stand against him as a condition, "to be removed...
...response to a toast to the Faculty. He spoke with much warmth of the need of a better understanding between professor and student, pointing out the fact that the feeling which still exists, though yearly diminishing, is due quite as much to the student's idea that his instructor is not a student like himself, only at an advanced stage, as to the attitude of his instructor toward him.

To be sure, in most instances, probably in the majority, we are fortunate enough to make a good selection; but almost...
...much less length and poorer quality, and we have no reason to think that the case would be different with regard to elocution, especially when we remember what a wretched farce recitation in that study used to be. A step in the right direction was taken when an instructor in elocution was appointed for the Senior Class, who devotes a portion of his time to each man who desires it. Such help in one's endeavors for self-improvement is invaluable, and if a similar instructor in English composition were to take the place of the present exercises in that...
