...course of last spring, the Princetonian had occasion to express itself as heartily in favor of the Quad Plan. While not attempting to copy the system exactly as found in Oxford and Cambridge, we have felt that much good might be derived from such an adaptation as might seem applicable to the peculiar conditions in American colleges. We admitted that the Quad Plan, at the present time, stood in our eyes rather as a symbol of social progress than as a ready working system which could be applied tomorrow and could be trusted to uproot all the social ills that...
Does it not seem to you that there is material for an editorial against the present practice of not returning final examination papers? Perhaps few students would take advantage of a change in method, but that does not deny the benefit. I take it that an examination is to reveal what one does not know as well as what one does, and many foresighted students would appreciate retaining their papers for future reference in divisional preparation. The present mid-years, in courses ending with the semester, are not returned, and this Spring will doubt less witness, the same condition unless...
...Vagabond has been deeply intrigued and highly amused recently at the vast number of parodies which have flooded the literary market. This series of Saugus cheers which have greeted the publication of many of the more serious works during the last few months seem to be indicative of a subconscious feeling in literary circles that the American reading public is in danger of developing a psychopathic personality on a large scale.

...return to the older and, as we belive, the better customs of an earlier time, it may be found possible to devise some form of "dining in hall" which continues the "Harvard tradition" rather than lending itself to the fatal imputation of "Anglomania"? It would seem that amid such an amount of talent and knowledge as we have here, there must be some one who could discover that form, even, if necessary or desirable, resurrect those "prayers" with which it was begun. Though, under existing circumstances, that cheerful custom of the "beever" is no longer possible, the seating...
...view of the remarkable archaeological discovery of the college plates, whose reappearance was so widely and so enthusiastically welcomed, other "revivals" would not seem beyond the possibilities in connection with this interesting experiment, which, in so many ways, is but a revival of old Harvard practices. For this matter of seating in hall is of course, only one, and doubtless not the most important, of many such suggestions that might be made in this interesting field of Harvard's history. For these the fortuitous concurrence of the publication of her early records and the establishment of the new houses offers...
