AMONG the "Brevities" in the last Crimson was a copy of the Postal Cards sent to the Senior Class by Notman, in which you seemed to object to a part of the wording by putting it in Italics. It is but fair to Mr. Notman to say, that the objectionable features in this card were put in solely from ignorance of the feelings of the class, and not from any egotistical idea on his part. He would have been happy to word the notice in any way acceptable to the majority, and it was therefore unwise on his part...
...sure you are no coward, and I would not have you become one by putting in the plea of human frailty. What men are it is our duty to consider only as the starting-point to what men may be. To justify our acts by other men's is to set up an external standard which, in politics for instance, would induce corruption to grow stronger and in thirty years destroy this nation.

The proof of what we say may be found in the number of students who are obliged to spend large sums of money in order to be put up to enough "points" to pass the examinations, and the absolute ignorance of the subject which they display a very short time after the examination is over...
...undergraduates heartily join with the Advocate in regretting the action of the Faculty in requiring Seniors to get fifty per cent in every examination, and it has occurred to me that it is a subject worthy of notice in the 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...
