...that the mid-year examinations are close upon us, the subject of the return of blue books or the announcement of the marks to students comes to mind. In past years it has often happened that the marks were not announced to sections until many weeks after the examinations were over. This not only keeps the students in a state of unnecessary suspense, but often prevents them from learning in which courses they have been deficient and need to pay most attention to during second half-year.

The Popular Science Monthly, the most prominent organ of the opponents of classical culture, has devoted a very large proportion of its space to the subject, treating it however from a purely practical standpoint.

We also hope that the knowledge by the faculty of the views of a large proportion of the students on the matter of professionalism as expressed...
...views of Chairman Walker, of the New York Board of Education, on the subject of public support of higher education, as recently delivered at the annual meeting of the board, are presented below: Mr. Walker thought higher education should be provided for otherwise than by annual charge upon the tax-payers. One reason was that such education was too essential to the community to remain a subject for legislative vagaries; another was that it should be religious, not to say sectarian; a third reason was the inevitable increase of a citizen's burdens as a bachelor for the luxury...
