...appealing to alumni for aid. The alumni looking out simply for the credit of Princeton do not feel like giving money, say for track athletics, while the foot-ball and lacrosse are declaring handsome dividends which are being divided among the members of those teams. The alumni think that all the financial resources of the various teams taken as a whole, should be exhausted before they are asked to contribute. Then, feeling that they were aiding the whole circle of athletics, they would step forward and make up the deficiencies in the gross amount...

We hope that every one of the recent examinations will...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - In the communication published a few days ago, "Inquirer" has apparently not understood the way in which the class system of marking would most naturally be applied. He seems to think that the instructor would first assign marks according to the percentage scale, and then reduce them to the terms of the class system. Now, in in fact, whatever reference there is to percentage is merely for the student's convenience in estimating the value of his mark. The instructor would naturally consider, not whether a book deserved eighty-four or eighty-six, but whether it ought...
