According to the daily press, Trinity College plans three innovations, all consonant with the drift of liberal thought in education. The first is an elaborate freshman week with the intent of truly initiating the new arrival into the ins and outs of the college before he plunges into the maelstrom. The second contemplates the abolishment of mid-year examinations. It is purposed to rest grades during the year on judgments more co-incident with the actual work performed in courses. The third and last reform is identical with that most recently instituted in Harvard and Yale, namely, permission for upper...
...last two changes are clearly progressive. It might be feared that to abolish mid-year tests-would leave a void in the system of grading. In this case, however, there is definite intent to substitute the instructor's judgment for the results of the quizz. And, as if to emphasize that the quality of work required is not to be lowered, President Ogilby has announced that students failing in a large proportion of their work will be dropped their first mid-year, on the basis of instructors reports as heretofore on the results of examinations.

Wilson had pretty good reasons for most of his appointments, and generally speaking he was intent on doing good. His prosecution of the War was hampered, as was Lincoln's, by smaller persons who wished to get the job under the control of the right political party. Although many Republicans worked hard and earnestly for victory under Wilson's leadership, some proposed a War Board, made up of Republicans, to take over the duties of the President and thus...
