Many dubious per­sons are beginning to wonder jfthere isn't something to the directprimary scheme after all, though itdid look rather visionary.As . � .Professor Mer�iam a� alder-man, h- will be watched jealously bya certain class of people, ready totake the first advantage to make himseem a theorist and impractical re­former. Those who know him havelittle fear that .he will furnish anyfoundation for the buncombe of thissort that has already begun to behanded out.The stand taken against politicalscheming and electioneering by thecandidates for the Rey­Making Merit nolds club offices is ofthe Main no small importance,Argument. and deserves the en-thusiastic support ofthe students. If the practices againstwhich the candidates have agreed touse their influence are allowed to con­tinue, they are bound, in the long run,to discredit student self-governmentand discourage the best type of can­didate from seeking office. The trad­ing of Influence, and personal solici­tation at the polls which have beenrcsponsible for more than one man'selection to office in Ahis Universityare methods which are distasteful tothe sort of candidates most worthy ofelection, and their failure to meet thecompetition of their opponents in thisrcsnect has resulted more than oncein the success of the second bestman.From the standpoint of the studentbody in general. the plainest commonsense dictates that everything tend­ing to obscure the issue of a man'sfitness for a given office be eliminat­ed. His ability to figure out a win­ning combination or his persistencein soliciting votes, have very little to(10 with his efficiency in office, butthey arc too often the deciding factor.The action is too important to letpass merely as an unusual feature ofone election. The CaP and Gownejections are next on the program,and they should· follow the good ex­ample of the Reynolds club. As tothe club elections, this is a g'ood pre­cedent for them, and it is to be hopedthat in the future it will not be aban-doned.

Although this heading, takenby itself, gave a wholly erroneouSimpression of the nature of the talk.I fancied at the time that it wonldattract little attention, and hence didnot deem it necessary to correct thestatement. In view, however, of thefact that further comment has ap­peared in your columns upon it, youwill perhaps permit me to say thatthe attitude which I actually took :"this address was that of an ardentchampion of the idea. nnderlying thenew working system, rather than thatof a hostile critic. My criticism, suchas it was, was directed against a con­dition which prevails in all Ameri­can universities and colleges, and onewhich is bringing discredit in theminds of some at least, upon theAmerican college degree. I statedthat in all European countries,:nview of a rigid final examination sys­tem, the degrees of the higher insti­mtions : of learning represent thor­oughly tested ability and �efinite nc­complishment and proficiency in cer­tain directions, whereas our Americanacademic degrees have come to repre­sent liuie more than a term of resi­dence in a University community. Ipointed out that this condition washc.th discreditable to the degree. antiunjust to the study body, since, inview of the extreme diversity of thedemands made by different instruc­tors, the obtaining of the thirtY-l:;ixmajors of credit may require a largeamount of work and little or no abil­ity on the part of another.I stated that 1 regarded the neW'marking system as merely this uni­,·ersity's first attempt toward a solu- CONTINUED npRINGFEBRUARY.
