Curriculum Change

We hesitate to comment on the change in the curriculum which has been made. The average student reaction, we should guess, was slightly unfavourable. It seemed a ceding away of old things, a retrogression rather than a progression, despite the knowledge that it would eventually lead to greater intellectual emancipation. There has been the customary wailing over the passing of a tradition, so to speak—and we think that it's in large part owing to the thought that those to come after us won't have to undergo the pangs with which our mathematical freshman year inflicted us, for instance. Well, we will next year observe the results and record them for you—to date there is nothing but the idea.
