...spite of all that can be done certain departments are at times in the ascendency, while others seem on the down grade. Yet the general level at Harvard remains high, and the Sorokin appointment furnishes proof that Harvard is not asleep to her most vital need, good teachers...
...Samborski '25, Director of intramural Athletics, who is prominent in Harvard baseball history sates: "The idea is probably in accordance with educational theory, but there seem to be not a few practical objections to it.

Even one day would be of considerable assistance to those who are burdened with a number of examinations coming in rapid succession. Either this, or the first day of the period should be reserved for those courses which have the smallest attendance...
