EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - The folly, the utter absurdity, of using Sever 11, instead of Sanders Theatre, when a popular lecturer has been engaged to address the students on a theme of absorbing interest, was shamefully demonstrated Tuesday evening. Hundreds who went there, tormented, perhaps, by doubts and difficulties in the attempt to solve the great problem of what their life-work should be, thirsting for the light with which the lecturer's words flooded the subject and which would have aided them in the task of solution, were unable to gain admittance...

Here, all feel the necessity of a coarse scale, say, with 5 or 10 as the maximum mark...
...influence, for Philadelphia's provincialism seems to be attributed in a very large measure to the policy of the University of Pennsylvania, the chief educational institution in that district. The name "University" is made to appear to be grossly misapplied, and this misapplication to be due to the utter lack of any dormitory life. Surely no stronger argument can be advanced for the adoption of the dormitory system, and its extension to whatever limits circumstances and demand justify. The aim of the trustees of the University is said to be "to train boys up in the way the should...
