A GREAT many of the woes which form the subject for complaint among undergraduates are imaginary; but there are some grievances which justify grumbling, and among these are the restrictions on our privileges which have been recently voted by the Faculty. We refer, in particular, to the new rule requiring Seniors and Juniors to take twelve hours, and Sophomores ten hours of elective studies throughout the year. We have been allowed, up to this time, to take as many hours each half-year as we wished, provided that the sum-total for the two half-years equalled twenty-four hours; a privilege which was very valuable to many faithful students. To applicants for honors, particularly, the liberty to take the larger amount of work during the first half-year was very important, as it gave them more time in the spring for the special work which is required for examinations for honors. Again, it greatly lightens the labors of our hard-worked Crew and Nine to be able to assign a large proportion of their work to the first half-year, as a good part of their time is spent during the spring on the river and the field. The consequences of the new rule are evident. Either the honor men will fail in their examinations, and the crew will neglect their electives, or both will overwork themselves and injure their health. We cannot see how the former privilege could injure a student or the standard of scholarship in the College, and we should like to urge upon the Faculty to reconsider this step, and unless there is a cogent reason for their action, to restore a liberty which does not seem to have been abused.
