EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: As it is highly desirable and beneficial that the friendliest of relations should continually exist between instructor and student, anything which can possibly tend to disturb such relations should be promptly discouraged. The affair of last Friday morning in the geology section may perhaps be regarded as the culmination of an ill-feeling which has been constantly increasing since the beginning of the term. Although it is certainly not desirable to have loose management in conducting recitations, yet the youthful rules and practices of grammar schools seem to be sadly out of place in our college recitation rooms. If the instructor does resort to such methods he must expect something like the manifestation of last Friday morning. The frailty of human nature forbids it being otherwise. We may be able to endure the harassing catch-question method (although the Crimson exclaims against even that) but the instructor is going too far when he makes the classroom the place for such childish remarks and attempts at reproof which have been so common lately in the section in question. Let us then have a brace all around. Fellows, love your instructor. Instructor, we pray you, do not worry your pupils.

"M."
