...Crimson also. I understand that this requisition is put upon Seniors to offset the privilege of voluntary attendance at recitations. The Faculty recognize the liability of a student's loafing through the first half of the year, failing on the Semi, and making it up at the Annual. This mode of procedure they intend to prevent by making fifty per cent the requisite mark in every examination. In this way of looking at it the change may result in some good, but however great this good may be, it seems to me to be more than outweighed by the disadvantages...

It is astonishing to us how any man who has the least respect for himself can filch articles from papers, knowing all the while that he is depriving other men of their share in the privileges to which, as members of the Reading-Room Association, they are entitled. Furthermore, this...
