SEVENTH HEAVEN, LIMITED
Lois. ago the College ordained that excellency in
lasses should be rewarded by the symbol '3' It was
In esumed that those who lonised most, to all outward
eppernarces from any course, sidle honored with this
sign But since that time, there has grown up a school
of pioressois who belies e thole is no excellence A
'S on a giade•sheet leases them cold. Perhaps they
think no-one leains anything in then field of liaising
At least the '3' is lacking as a marl, to distinguish the
best rioni the fun ly good.
IL is just possible that this logic is correct. There
it no excellence, in the highei sense of the weld. But
then the :nowt Ito accept a ruling which giants superior
people a supeimi junking, then the minority might at
cast abide by higher Juitsdn.tions.

plated upon them.
While student leaders are making an elfin t to hit
upon a scheme for raising the student's share of the
loan fund, it might he well for undergraduates to re
membei that on the social calendar this week there is
an affati, Militaly Ball, from which all of the net

ways a colorful affair, the Ball pionrilses to surpass
meats of the past year. At al” rate the Committee has

the function should reward this unselfishness.

Professor Gates looks upon stand
ardization of high school English in
struction as an etharice toward less
difficult uolk for the college teacher.:
It is easier for the college instructor!
to anneal to uhole classes now, he be
lic‘es, tom the extremes in student
preparation have been eliminated.
"On the other hand, the tendency of
high schools to gne a blondes lenge
of courses minimizes the student's
mastery of some of the 'key' subjects
in college. This, of course, reacts to
the disadvantage of college profess
ins, but turns out more diversified
high school giaduates," Professor
Gates said
- . .
Profcssoi Harms believes that many
high school teachers fail to make
English composition as inteiesting as
it could be made He is inclined to
sympathize with the high school
teacher, honer& in that some of the
pupils are open to poor English usage
while living at home.
