ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS GRADE PROFESSORS AND EACH OTHER Points Considered Are Ability, Integrity, Appearance, Vitality, Disposition and Tact A system whereby each member of the class grades every other member of the class. The man used in the classes of Prof. F. Ellis Johnson of the electrical engineer. For several years this system has been used by members of the senior class. Each member in the class requires that all qualities be to be considered in grading the men. The qualities that they grade on are: physical vitality, dress and personal habits, quality and power of communication, co-operative ability, native ability technical ability, vision judgment and tact, self evaluation, integrity of culture and refinement leadership, and industry and responsibility. Score Cards Not Signed In grading each other every man is given a number. Enough blanks are given out so that each member in the class gets a number. Each man in the class, and he lists the grade which he thinks one should receive for each quality. The score he receives can be very high. Man can feel perfectly safe in saying exactly what he thinks. At the same time that he scores his fellow students' grades, he teachers, which they are scoring. After members of the class have written their opinions, the cards are erased and the grade which is received on each quality is recorded.

The turnover resulted when Barben lost his balance and shifted the weight of the ice. "If enough interest is displayed by the senior men who took the test last year, it will be given to them again this year so that they may see if they have improved themselves on their performance during the year," said Professor Johnson. The instructors who are graded in this way also take as much interest as the students. The teachers they are able to tell exactly where they fail to meet the standards of the course. After having followed the currents of the river for about two minutes, the water began to flow through the motorbottle at a point about 200 yards above the river bridge. Barben and his boat crossed the shallow ashore as the water was too cold. They chose, rather, to retain their supplies in the water.
