...laboratories were open on Saturday afternoon it would be a great boon to such students, enabling them to make up, without obliging them to cut or crowd other things as important, which they may have on their hands. It seems to me that such a course would entail a comparatively trifling increase in trouble or expense to the University, and would be a very great convenience to the students...
...uncertainty that shows only too well how desultory such a process of work is. In History 13, however, the instructor has given us a system whereby we can get at the sense of the question without being compelled to wade through pages of unimportant or irrelevant matter. It would entail a large amount of work upon the instructor but there would be a great saving of labor, and a more concise and philosophical knowledge of history among Harvard men, if the very much desired system of History 13 could become universal in our history courses. If the men in History...

The only way to have examinations do any good besides fixing, though with a delightful degree of uncertainty, his rank, is for the instructor to return to every student his blue-book with corrections. This may entail a little more labor on the instructor, but the satisfaction felt by the students will amply repay the extra trouble. This is already done by some instructors, but the practice is not so universal as it should be. We hope that instructors will feel that the extra work will...
