...making of long journeys at the expense of the college, the corporation of old inspected and regulated the life of the Puritan collegians of the 17th century. They even felt called upon to say exactly what they should eat, and what they should drink, as the records still plainly show. On June 23, 1692, the corporation held a meeting in Boston, and discussed the subject of "Plumb Cake" with this result...
...possessed little merit until they underwent their final transformation into the forms in which we know them, just as the first streaks of a new dawn were beginning to relieve the night of the Dark Ages. At the same time or a little later, the Devil too began to show some improvement. In Dante we see little of him. But where he does appear at the close of the "Inferno," he is no longer the spiteful imp of human or even less than human size, going about the earth to play practical jokes and catch the souls of the unwary...
...essays, " themes," and " forensics," which in the past have lain idle in the desks of the instructors, and to print them in the form of a monthly supplement.

...equality of standards, seems to be attained by the body of instructors. Fifty per cent. with Prof. A may often be set against seventy or seventy-five per cent. with Prof. B; in courses which require very nearly the same amount of work and brains, the marks often show an appalling difference. An interesting comparison has been made between the marks of two courses, which had been elected almost without exceptions by the same men. The courses were reputed to be of very nearly equal difficulty; but the disparity in the marks was very great. There was to be found...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -Does it not show some fault in marking when in a comparatively small section twenty-eight men are conditioned? The marks in German 1, recently given out, were quite conspicuous for their lowness. Two high marks, conspicuously high, then an interval, then another stop with several more good marks, then a beautiful stride down to the regions of fifty and sixty. The great trouble with such marking is, that it puts the men taking the course at a disadvantage with others out of it. Equal amounts of work are not equally compensated. Why should not some addition...
