...present it is the custom here for the students of a large proportion of the courses to be inflicted with them once or twice a year. Of course for the present we can do nothing more than to register a protest against the system in itself, but we think that as long as it exists, it might very justly be reformed in certain points. Especially so as to the time of infliction. We think it is manifestly unfair for andinstructor to hold one without at least two weeks warning, and not as recently,-with a paltry forty-eight hours...
...necessary, although we grant that they may be useful, as for instance, to enable an instructor to gain an idea of what his section is doing. But, asks our correspondent further, is there no other way of doing this ? This is a hard question to answer. We think that most instructors can gain a very fair idea of the work of their sections by some other method than the hour examination, but we are ready to admit that there may be isolated cases where this is really the only practicable way of obtaining such information.

If each person on finishing a certain exercise will at once move off and give the next person a chance, everything will go right. At present there is a tendency on the part of some...
...hardly think the New York Times is justified in its gloomy view of the future of the national cheer, nor that it does right in ascribing so great a share to American colleges in bringing about the present "degeneracy" of the practice. The popular cheer and the college cheer are essentially distinct. If the good people of this country choose to conform the style of their hurrahs more or less to the fashions set by the colleges, surely the latter are not to blame. The form of cheering adopted by any college is its distinctive possession and invaluable birthright...
