And yet, oh char m ing inconsistency,we must make amends for a sin against theflesh by travail of the spirit.For each day that a student's bill remainsunpaid, cuts are registerd against him in all ofhis classes. He may have attended them regu­larly and done the work faithfully, but untilhis bill is paid, his presence in class roomcounts for nothing. He is a thing of fineair, a phantom, an invisibility, until he en­dorses his check. He may be present, and yethe is not there. Here again is an inconsist­ency; an absolute distortion ot the truth-or aparadox, whichever phrase is more acceptable.The division elections are meetings havingno connection with class room work, held onthe first day ot each quarter, at which, aft'era session of fifteen minutes, some person un­known is chosen to serve as Division Council­lor. The penalty for non-attendance is ten"cuts." The enormous illogicality of this ruleneeds no comment.Absence from a final examination also meansa penalty of ten cuts. It is difficult to see thepoint of view from which an examination is re­garded as the equivalent of ten class room ex­ercises. Yet the inconsistency of this rule lieselsewhere than in ratios of importance. Noth­ing but "death or earthquake" will keep anyoneaway from an examination. How then can aresult of unavoidable circumstance merit theinfliction of a heavy penalty?Some professors have a delightful habit ofmaking two tardinesses equivalent to one "cut,"no matter how trifling the offense. For per­haps ten minutes loss of time, the student isenrolled as having lost an hour, when in alllikelihood, the work was not fully under waywhen he entered, and his actual loss of the in­creased wisdom was, perhaps, nothing.[A communication from a student, as a result of many interviews with members of the University. We willpublish next week any refutation of this article handed in by any other student or member of the faculty.]-En.It is claimed, and do ubtless many who havenot considered the matter carefully coincidewith this opinion, that the "cut system. whichis in vogue at present in the University, is anarrangement eminently just and logical. Theproposition, as its defenders put it, is beautifulin its simplfcity.I "Cut" is equivalent to a lose of I hours time from thec lass room'30 hours attendance in class room is equivalent to Iminor.Therefore 30 cutS=I minor,It may be easily deduced from these equa­tions that by "cutting" classes thirty times,the student defrauds himself of one minor ofcredit. When a student thus defrauds himself,the University regards it as a duty to see thatthe debt is repaid. Consequently will he, nillhe, he must do an extra minor of work to gethis degree. Such is the law.It is to be born in mind that a "cut" repre­sents a certain amount of work, or cerebration,which ought to have, but which has not been per­formed. Here, in the beginning, when touchedon this very point, the whole "cut" system col­lapses like a punctured balloon. If a studentpasses a course, he has done all the work inthat course wh-ich the faculty requires. How,then, can he, with justice, be called to accountfor lost time? The mere fact that he haspassed the course proves that he has fulfilledhis obligations-that all losses from "cuts" havebeen retrieved by work outside and by moreintensive effort inside the class room.Secondly, if a "cut" represents a certainamount-of lost work, can "cuts" consistently bemeted out as a penalty for non-attendance up­on functions which have no connection withthe class room? Attendance upon chapel ex­ercises and division meetings can scarcely becalled intellectual effort. How then can ab­sence from them be placed on the same footingas absence from classes?'-.litl+.1t!.li:A$.W\?ijt4l't.::('!>{V}::;§:::}::;�;#§n2;GT/·- 2M ; 1- ,0 ti.: ,_ ·�pt.:��}Jj(>g.:n#g;�(;,;".;���Y!?}$jW:L: *r.�.;,\it:+:{Mn.Another glaring fault of the system lies in has not had all the benefits it offers, why notthe fact that to err is human and thatof all mor- give him the instruction which he has missedtals a Dean's clerk is most prone to error. without extra fee.

In the springquarter hegets four more cuts, and draws another notice.Thus, to atone for thirty-four cuts, he must dotwo extra minors. Several cases similar tothis is known; it, may have been a mistakewhich, in the course of human 'events, will berectified, but up to the present time the minorsare still charged up against these unfortunatesin the Dean's office.Still another illogical ity rests in the tact thatthe total limit of cuts is not proportionate tothe number allowed in each course before fullcredit is withdrawn. From ten to fourteen cuts'are usually allowed in each class if the stu­dent's work i s kept up. This enables a manto take over thirty cuts in one quarter withoutlosing credit in a single course. yet if he ac­quires thirty cuts in two quarters, he must dohis minor bravely, for such is the law.

Was aroused to a cer­tain extent as he watched him during the firstlessons sitting nervously on the edge of a chairand wrinkling his brows over rhe French gram­mar.

After the lessonwas over, however. he forgot all about him,even the name passing out of his mind. Wal­cott did not make it a practice to remembervery many people's names.The next night he dropped around Ito theHall where he called regularly, twice a week,and found himself obliged to wait some fifteenminutes, contrary to former experience."Miss Allen was busy taking a French les­son," he learned. So he sat down in the Mor­ris chair and amused himself with a magazineuntil she appeared."Such a charming man!" she burst torth inher first words. "Oh, I never loved Frenchtill now.

It was impossiblehowever, to get the girl away from the subject.She kept on about Monsieur Bouffe, relatingthe discussion they had had on French poetryand wondering and puzzling over whatMonsieur Bouffe really was.

Lake For­est usually presents a very creditable baseballteam, and that of this year is by no means un­worthy of that college. The game on Satur­day was one to delight the eye of spectators, aclose, strenuously-contested match, the out­come of which was considerably in doubt atseveral times.
