...have only time to sketch roughly the plan I would adopt for the practical application of the system. I would divide the whole number of members of the Dining-Hall Association into five classes, and each of these I would subdivide into two subclasses. These divisions should be composed of men who take chiefly the following subjects: A. Languages. 1. Ancient. 2. Modern. B. Mathematics. 1. Hard. 2. Soft. C. History. 1. Of Events. 2. Of Institutions. D. Physics. 1. Useful. 2. Useless. E. Philosophy. 1. Comprehensible. 2. Incomprehensible...
...Clubs are fast sinking into the slough of debt. It would seem that it is almost entirely through Mr. Blakey's generosity that the clubs will have boats for their crews to-morrow. When the present system was founded, in order to insure him what the originators of the plan considered a fair profit, he was guaranteed two hundred members, each paying $15 a year, in return for which he has provided boats enough to allow one third of the members to row at the same time. As there is an impression that he is in some way making...
...members of the present Senior Class certainly have not forgotten the stormy class elections of '74, when the system of elections by societies was in the full glory of its ineffectiveness.

In order to carry out this plan, some $3,500 will need to be expended. A further sum of $1.50 will be needed from each member of the Clubs, in order to pay the interest on this money...
While such a plan as the above could do no harm, it might do much good. The first result would be to raise the general average, and hence the standard of scholarship. Every one would know at least once in two months just how he was doing, and would be stimulated to improvement. The professors would be urged to do their best, because "A" men would not attend their recitations unless they considered they really could not afford to be absent. Such a plan unites the best features of German, American, and English universities. It gives a man every privilege...
