AN UNHAPPY FRAME OF MIND.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Now that the returns from the examinations begin to come in, we hear louder and stronger complaints of the new marking system. At last one realizes how much the majority of the men oppose this innovation and how just their opposition is. It is indeed pleasant to go to an instructor and be told that your book was better than most of the D. books and that it was - nearly - worth C. The new system is not only distasteful to the "grinds." but also to the average man who does not wish to be marked on a scale so broad as to admit of his being classed with those who are in reality inferior to him. This ridiculous and inefficient scheme was, I believe, brought forth by the conference committee, which (as a well known member of '88 very justly said) "was born sickly, and died young." Let us hope that this offshoot of its weakness, this evidence of its failure, may soon be removed.

PATIENCE.
