...year's work. Now the question is. "Have or have not the less favored non-honor men the right to demand that this rule shall be carried out according to the dictates of common sense and the spirit of this university?" It is currently reported that there are two marks in mathematical theses, one for the course mark, and one for the forensic mark, and it is openly said that in the majority of cases this latter mark is 100, no matter what the course mark may be. Now, it is asked, how is it possible for one piece...
...strange contrast with this is that case which occurred last year, when a student in one of the German courses received the maximum mark of 100, and yet for the same theses received under the head of forensics less than 95! Here we have the tables turned. Two things seem certain from these facts, namely, that instructors should remember that it is a difficult thing to get the maximum mark in forensics, and that the same scale should be used in all other departments for marking forensics that is used in the English department, so that the rank list...
AMHERST.Amherst professors mark on the scale of five and make four grades, which appear on the diploma and certify to the actual average work the student has accomplished. The lowest grade corresponds to two, on the scale of five. A mark of three gives one cum laude; four, magna cum laude, and five, summa cum laude.

The six or eight in the class who attain the highest average ranks appear on the commencement stage, thus general ability is encouraged rather than proficiency...
COLUMBIA.The marking system of Columbia College is not complex; the maximum mark is 100 per cent. in the college and school of mines. The minimum or passing mark for freshmen and sophomores is 50 per cent.; for juniors and seniors, 60 per cent. The honor classes are made up of students whose standing for the four years has been above 80 per cent. First class those having total mark 95-100 per cent. Second class, those having a total mark of 90-95 per cent. Third class, those having a total mark of 80-90 per cent...
...marks given are published semiannually, unless the professor chooses to make them known monthly. The monthly mark of the student in every department counts 50 per cent. The remaining 50 per cent. is made up by the semi-annual examinations, the two together making the maximum work for the term. The chief honor on commencement day is the Greek salutatory. Number two delivers a Latin oration. Others in second honor class have English orations. The Valedictory address is delivered by a student whose only requirements are that he shall be an honor man, he shall be nominated by the faculty...
