It may be urged in favor of the sophomores that they submitted without complaint to the imposition of a theme within three days of the beginning of recitations after the Christmas recess, when they had been obliged to hand one in but a few days before the close of recitations for that recess. They bore this trial without grumbling; but now, as the mid-years approach, it is suggested that the same quick succession is to occur again. "An ounce of prevention, etc." is an old saying, but a very trenchant one; and we echo the wishes of all those who write sophomore themes when we beg that a respite of a week at least be given after the close of the mid-year examinations, before we hear sophomore theme VIII will be due.
