...extra courses does not entail further expense on the University, except perhaps in the courses themselves. This fact has long been recognized by the authorities, as the tuition price of $200 for four courses and the price of $20 for an extra course shows. This increase of 250 percent in the price of extra courses in unjust and uncalled for unless it has some beneficial effects, which have not been made evident...
...principle and workable in general details". That code is not unlike the United States oil land leasing bill, according to Judge J. W. Thompson of the United States Bureau of Mines. Hostile criticisms have been aroused, however, by the proposed assessment of high taxes varying from 10 to 20 percent of the gross product and by the close supervision of exports as a means of levying such taxes. It is evident from the above that the Colombian petroleum deposits are to be developed under concessions granted by the government and the latter is therefore in much closer contact with...

...academic tragedies, it is true, are frankly attributed to laziness on the part of the student, but a considerable proportion is by general consensus of undergraduate opinion laid at the door of the instructor. There have been instances at Harvard when large courses have flunked as high as forty percent of their members at Mid-Years. The purpose --if there was a purpose--might possibly have been to stimulate students to more conscientious work; but the undergraduate is often discouraged rather than aroused by what he considers an honest indication of poor scholastic worth. Inasmuch...
