EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - In the new "Regulations of the Faculty of Harvard College," there is one rule that seems to be very unfair. I refer to the clause in section 27 relating to degrees cum laude, in which it is distinctly stated that no student who has ever fallen below grade C (I suppose the old 55 per cent.) shall be recommended for such a degree. I don't see how the new regulations can be regarded as an improvement on the old ones, when such a rule exists. In the old regulations, a man had simply to make a certain average; in the new, if he has received one low mark, no matter what his average may be, his cum laude is lost. Imagine a man losing a cum laude by a low mark in freshman chemistry or Physics.
