THIS MATTER OF MARKS
It's bald to move that maths ale not neces,ai y in a

five thousand students ate being 'Wed in from five to
ten courses for too semesters every year, that fine senti

But limo this simple fact of the nececsity of mail,
gums r splendid confusion of intermetations To one
professes, a 3 means peifection, total and absolute, so
a 3 is not for mutat hands to touch. To anothei teach
et, a 3 is a red apple lot being a good boy. One dean
lithecel that all stuJents should be late(' mechanically
a frequency scale, alien nest door another dean
thinks that, if impiocement is shown and the man's
cultural interest is quickened education has then set in
and success 1 , achiesed by the teacheis Thus both the
individual malls and the loading system in its entirety

A• matters stand, the grades of the Chennsti} and
Physics school arc noised about in unfavorable conipaii

Nom, as a matte, of fact, this school sets its standaids
with an me to what the nther schools of its type in the
country aie accomplishing, not with !Ewald to what the

doing So it is smith the other departments and dim isions

outfit.. on the ;pounds hole ale doing, but they stack
themselves up against the schools whose graduates_ aill
compete smith local products. That is good, but con,
Pal Noir tmdm these Collllltlolls ate not good
If this thing is to be cleated up at all, one of tun
directions intact be taken Einet it must be tecognlzed
that the schools and then sub-div isions vary widely in
marking ainv and pi notices, thus not inviting compel,-
ot a real standard common to every mill% olual and
every delta. tment must be attained
