EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - Again the injustice of the present marking system has been shown in a conspicuous manner. Natural History 5 is by no means a "snap course." It requires at least six hours a week laboratory work, besides a knowledge of the points taken up in the lectures. The majority of the members of the elective have done faithful and careful work in the course, yet the highest mark for the half-years work was 88, while a large number ranged between 65 and 75. When this is compared with a soft course like the Mineralogical half of Natural...
...much earlier than now, - the hurried toilet, the rush of students through the yard, converging from all quarters, the leap of the final belated crowd up the chapel steps in eager, noisy rivalry to get within the door before the bell should stop, under penalty of receiving a black mark for tardiness, a worse offence than absence; we recall the monitors rising in the midst of each of the four classes at the same time that the minister rose in the pulpit, registering in the books the absences while the Scripture reading went on, and not always finishing before...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - In the communication published a few days ago, "Inquirer" has apparently not understood the way in which the class system of marking would most naturally be applied.

Forty-three times had the boy-choir opened on him with the theme of retribution. Forty-three times had the preacher taught him that the way of the transgressor is hard. Praise, prayer, benediction, - 43 combined failures to accomplish a moral reformation. But the Sunday Herald softened his hard heart...
...then will say that Harvard poets are not different from other poets? They sing longer, louder, and better than the poets of other colleges. They say more, if they mean less, than other writers of their stamp. They mark distinctly a growing element in Harvard culture. Indigestion and good health are as clearly marked in Harvard verse as in the writings of a Lucy Larcom or a Carlyle. Poetry is one means open to us for the expression of our better thoughts. The verse in which we speak takes on a new significance, expresses a deeper power, as we grow...
