THE promoters of the system of Honorable Mention, which was applied for the first time to the class of '80, were undoubtedly very well satisfied with the way in which it worked. On the whole, the system is a good one, and does encourage more systematic work; but there are several points in which last year's trial suggests modification of it. Thus, it seems hardly right that Honorable Mention in a modern language which may have been acquired abroad, should be considered a ground for a degree cum laude. Again, in the Greek courses, it is difficult to see why Greek 1 of two years ago is excluded from the count, while Greek 2 is counted, as well as Greek 3, which, if difficulty be the criterion in arranging the courses, should properly be Greek 1.
