keener competition for classroom
honors because they are now worth
something in the eye of the student. In
many courses the faculty will be oblig-
ed to give closer attention to the stu-
dents than they have in the past, a
fact which will also have its influence.
The adoption of a s'stem of merits
or points for each grade will be a sec-
ond step to a much higher standard
in this department. If it is necessary
to acquire a certain amount of merit
to secure the recommendation of the
faculty for a degree, the students will
be spurred on to greater endeavor.

The New Marking System.
A much needed change has been
made by the faculty of the literary de-
partment in the manner of grading
students, according to their scholastic
ability, instead of lumping them all to-
gether as "passed" "not passed" and
"conditioned." Under the old system
there was little incentive to good
scholarship save among a very small
minority inclined in that direction.
,The average student saw others about
him enjoy life to its fullest extent, pass
safely, and stand as well, as far as
anybody knew or cared, as the man
who labored long and assiduously. The
system was not fair to the good stu-
dent because it gave him little incent-

In general the student body will wel-

ceive his just share of honor for class-
room work. There will be something
to strive for and the standard of schol-
arship will be raised. There will be;

Now it becomes our unpleasant duty

A little pluck will keep a man in

Dr. Kraenzlein isn't the only man

Our notion of something to journey

FORMER ROOMATE OF FRESH

A telegram was received Thursday
by W. H. Collette announcing the sad
news of the death of his former room-
mate, Guy M. Standard, '14 L, of Creal
Springs, Ill. About two weeks prior
to the close of the first semesterStand-
ard complained of a severe cold and
thought it advisable to go home, but
his condition was not thought alarm-
ing at that time and the announce-
ment of his death came as a surprise
and shock to his friends.

porain," will be given in Tappan Hall
