Marquardt 516 William Street MI MY LE S Cloth Shop 11 Editor, The Michigan Daily:- On the basis of somewhat extended experience as an examiner, may I sug- gest that Mr. Bollinger's letter on our marking system (in your issue of Feb. 28) hardly goes to the root of the mat- per. He forgets that mere quadrupling of possible grades does nothing to al- ter the conditions in relation to which these grades are given. Before look- ing at this, we may dismiss "such gen- eral distrust as now exists." For, it is counterbalanced by much satisfac- tion which, by the way, has no need to shout aloud! Moreover, no stu- dent ever was, or ever can be, a com- petent judge of marks in subjects whereof, in the nature of the case, he knows no more than the fringes. It is to be recalled, too, that, as a simple fact of comparison, American marking systems are exceedingly lenient. The conditions which they are compelled to meet render this inevitable--and here the real root of the difficulty lies. In a word, our system tries to ad- just itself to two entirely different cas- es. On the one hand, it is a "pass" system, Now, academically, a "pass" mark implies little.--it never indicates mastery or even unusual ability. It may, and ought to, mean "decent" av- erage work, or "respectable" ability. As human beings. are, no matter where, it cannot certify more. On the other hand, our system is also a "class" sys- tem: that is to say, it attempts to in- dicate a certain mastery or some de- cided ability. The point is that, here, we quit the "pass" world completely, and are confronted by totally different standards. Some day, perhaps, we may find it wise to separate "pass" and "class" among undergraduates. Till then, the difficulties traceable to the double situation must be endured, tempered by such justice as the long experience of examiners may guaran- tee.

MISS TARSNEY GIVES TALK ON "WO1IEN IN NEWSPAPER WORK" Miss Charlotte Tarsney, of the staff of the Detroit Evening News, address- ed the journalistic students of the uni- versity 'yesterday afternoon on the subject, "Women in New paper Work." Miss Tarsney said that the notion that women are useless in newspaper work is fast disappearing. She brief- ly covered the fields which open and are preferable to women who wish to make journalism their career. I.: Majestic Tril .. IMPORTANT MANAGERIAL Announcement f 0 I Gymna'siumSupremacy is earned through greater strength; ability to think quickly and act while thinking; through the possession of muscular power, prowess, and endurance that enable an athlete to defeat his opponent. S hredded Whet is more nourishing than meat. It possesses all the elements of whole wheat that con- tribute to tissue- strengthening and the building of brain, bone and brawn. Brains and bodies nourished by SHREDDED WHEAT meet emergencies, tests and crises as they should be met-victoriously.' I do not think that students realize the enormous gaps that exist even be- tween first rate men. In the Mathe- matical Tripos of the University of Cambridge, cases are not uncommon where intervals of several thousand points divide the "dominus" or first candidate from the second, and this, recollect, in the first class of honors. And, when it comes to the contrast be- tween a clear "first-class" and a mere " pass-man," we are in touch with two universes that happen to be wholly in- comparable. To adjust the same marking system to both cases is no light task. Yet, this pis just what we find ourselves compelled to do. The point is, that examinations for class-courses-semester examinations -demand a small modicum of dili- gence to secure a "pass." So, too, do the :British examinations for a "pass" degree. But these marks certify to no sort of competence. This is perfectly understood in academic circles and widely realized by the general public on the other side. But our students appear to imagine that a "pass" means something. In "honors" or "class" ex- aminations, on the other hand, thor- ough mastery in the field, and real na- tive ability are required in order to obtain a "first" and, in a lesser meas- ure,. a "second." The two standards are absolutely different. As I have said, we must combine them. Thus, between the philosophical knowledge and ability of the first "A" and the first "B" just returned by me to the Phi Beta Kappa committee, there is no possible comparison.
