THIS complaint is not of the marking system in general, only of the particular phase of it that appears in German 7. We do not complain that it is carelessly executed; on the contrary, the instructor takes more pains to examine the books carefully and justly, according to his light, than can be demanded of any one. It is the system that is wrong, and radically...
...purpose to show that the standpoint of the self-styled independent man - a phase of college character which we felt sure every one would recognize - is a ridiculous one, and to open his eyes, if possible, to the fact that his independence is not the only line of conduct open to manly men.

It is very seldom, indeed, that an article appears in the Advocate or Crimson from which the public can get an erroneous impression of any phase of our college life. But when one does appear that admits of more than one rendering, and allows the reader to draw his own inferences, it cannot fail to have considerable influence in the wrong direction. Such an article as this was that entitled "The Lower Classes" in the last Crimson...
