Meaning?
hi,
What is the meaning of "off the treadmill" , "Honor /Pass system" and"The pressure of grades" in the following text?
The dean had stressed to Tory and all of her classmates that they were "off the treadmill". He meant they were free from the pressure of grades {the school ran on an Honors/Pass system) and job hunting(a Yale law degree opened most any door).
Thanks
