...learning, must be the preparatory schools. All our best men in athletics came here with high local reputations, and it is upon them that the hardest work in athletics falls. Very few promising men appear in athletics after the freshman year. Thus the preparatory schools are in reality the test of our weakness, or our strength. It is to them that we should turn our attention to alleviate our present distress. This spring should witness a greater number of contests between our freshmen and second nines, and the various school teams. If the school teams could be made to feel...
Prof. J. W. White has told his sections in Greek V that the course has not been a success in regard to reading Greek at sight, as the plays are much too hard for the students; and he has proposed to read Herodotus for the test of the year.

This was, on the whole, the most enjoyable programme that Mr. Gericke has as yet given us, being varied and full of interest throughout.

The soloist...
Probably there is hardly any one problem of education which has given rise to as much discussion and theorizing as this of examinations, how they are to be conducted and how far they are to be taken as a test. That the present system, which carries with it all the evils of the marking system, is unfair, is almost universally acknowledged; but that something is needed whereby to grade the classes and sections of classes, some measure or test of knowledge, is as universally agreed upon. Instructors say that they cannot do away with the present system of examinations...
