MAL COLM ast Libe.rt~yStreet ..t Ualcolm Block Editor, The Michigan Daily- In the first place, let us be rid of Mr. Bollinger's irrelevancies: The kick at "foreign ideals" leaves my withers unwrung. For the hundredth tirme, let me say that, in my judgment, American universities have suffered more from subservience to foreign ideals than from any other single cause. We cannot have British "class- men" here any more than we can have F. L. HALL, 514 E.Wiliam Phone 2225 PRESSING nd dalled Keep your eye on our window. We show the latest styles all the time.

Again the star-spangledfustian sabout our marking system-"doubtless as good or better than that of any other uni- versity in the world"-consorts ill with the proposals for complete recon- struction.made in a certain letter of 28 February! For the rest, my knowl- edge of the universities of the world is too inadequate to permit me to pass an opinion. Thirdly, the cheap clap- trap -about "the greatest good of the greatest number" may go by the board. The greatest comfort of the greatest number would fit the case better. And I am vexed to notice the' confidence with which the "genius can be provided for outside the marking system." The fact is that the besetting sin of our universities happens to be that they do not provide for the genius at all. Fortunately, he is a ver.itable.

We are now free from the frills, and can proceed to the real question.' Mr. Bollinger wants to know what our grades mean. Of course, I can reply only for myself. Two points call for comment:-(1) the paper: (2) the marks. (1) A "pass" paper is drawn with reference to what may be expect- ed legitimately from the student of average ability and average diligence over the short flight of assemester course. (A"class" paper would be drawn with reference to the wide knowledge and possible self-discovery of the exceptional student over a long flight.) I set typical "pass" papers- what are commonly known as "fair" papers. Consequently, they do not provide for "power," "personality" and other admirable, but wholly unusual qualities. (2) Premising this: nhy ME PROVE IT Alterations and Repairing GANSLEL r TAILOR Second Floor i 5 NEW YORK 'SHOPS I- DRIDGEPORT SHOP SHOW ROOMS PRINCETON 62 Nassau St. PENNSYLVANIA Woodland Ave. Smartly Cut, Finely Tailored grades mean the following:- E, under 33 per cent. D, under 45 per cent. C, under 55 per cent. B, under 70 per cent. A, over 70 per cent. E, D and C are all quantitative grades, for the very good reason that they por- tend absence of quality. B, if with a plus indicates that a certain modicum of quality is forcing itself into the es- timate. With A, the presence of qual- ity becomes important, and this in- creases as the plus sign is nearet. But a very high A is by no means common. How uncommon, those observations may suggest. I have noticed that, tak- ing all subjects into consideration, less than half-a-dozen students in each year clearly outrank their fellows un- der investigation for Phi Beta Kappa; and, occasionally, it is tolerably plain that one student is the best scholar in the class. Thus for ,the vast, majority, our grades suffice to stamp various degrees of respectable undergraduatehood, and very various degrees of diligence. On this basis, Mr. Bollinger may perhaps be in a position to interpret the mean- ing of his "total of 39 points." What- ever be his reading of the riddle, he has no occasion to be covered with shame and confusion of face. But, likely enough, he must pause to in- quire, of what subject, after all, do I possess any knowledge amounting to adequacy, much more, to mastery? Just here, I should imagine, "due hu- mility" would find its perfect work. R. M. WENLEY. Portage Lake Men Win Hockey Match Two teams of picked men battled in the hockey pen at Weinberg's skat- ing rink last night in the final game of the season, the Portage Lake boys finally. proving themselves superior to the Duluth seven by dealing a I to 0 defeat to the Minnesota team. A gallery of about 100 turned out to witness the conclusion of the local hockey season in the 'all-star contest.
