EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - Now that the Conference Committee has ended its consideration of the marking system, the question may fairly be asked, how far it has fulfilled its purposes; to what extent it has satisfied student expectation. We see that much criticism of its non action has been ill-timed, when we recognize the difficulties connected with the subject with which it has to deal. Before any conclusion leading to an improvement of our status could be arrived at, much time necessarily was consumed. Hasty action would have been very undesirable. But we did expect the committee, taking...
...ordinary diet should include all the factors which are found in the various tissues together with enough water to amply supply the system. Foods are divided into the nitrogenous or gluten-bearing class, such as meats, and the non-nitrogenous such as fats, starch, sugar, etc. A brain worker requires more fats, and a muscle worker more nitrogenous foods. Over brain exercise sometimes produces insensibility to hunger, and students, after light suppers and long night study, find themselves unable to sleep, although not conscious of lack of food.

Harvard's superiority in track athletics must be preserved...
...questionable dialect of Romany. It is true, as the writer claims, that the use of slang at Harvard is almost universal. To illustrate. Let us drop from the college vocabulary that long list of slang words and phrases beginning with the ubiquitous "chestnut" and ending with the non-committal "rot" and we at once appreciate the sphere which slang has come to assume in Harvard life. Our conversation would henceforth lose its elegance, its pungency, its accuracy. Yes, slang is prevalent at Harvard. It is in the class-room, the dormitory, on the field. You hear it on the river...
...lectures, and actually gain in standing thereby. Oftentimes a student is so pressed in one course with special work that he receives ultimate benefit by neglecting his other course for a day or two. A friend's notes or diligent reading can make the omission good. In these cases, non-attendance shows, not absence from the post of duty, but concentrated work in some other department. Again, the free elective system is not claimed to benefit everyone and anyone. There are some at Harvard who ought not to be here, who are positive drags on the college. Deduct the records...
