...plan is certainly an admirable one and deserves to be handed down to each succeeding freshman class. Too often in the past these meetings have been characterized by the wildest confusion, and the elections have in consequence been reduced to the level of drawings in a lottery. By the method of yesterday, however, something like order was assured, and the freshmen were thus allowed to use at least some degree of discretion in their proceedings. We congratulate the author of this idea for his thoughtfulness, and express the sincere hope that this plan may become a recognized feature...
...people were wont to sit in circles about the philosophers to learn of the doctrine. The ideas of the Upanishad were three in number. First, the existence of an eternal soul of souls; second, the invisible emanations from the soul, ill-understood, but known as mind; and lastly the method of arresting the migration of the mind and restoring it at length to the soul.

...These tables are to be memorized by general training. In memorizing selections of prose, the plan is to select the leading words, and from them to construct a mnemonic chain. The idea of mnemonic series is not a new one, and at first glance it seems doubtful whether this method will prove of more service than the others that have been suggested. To most minds the effort required to memorize a mnemonic chain is as great as that in learning the original...
...purpose, its scope is necessarily limited and its treatment is very general. The chief merit of the book is its admirable conciseness and clearness. Even to advanced students it will prove valuable as a ready hand-book of definitions. The subject is treated in a strictly systematic way, the method being first to give a definition, then a brief elaboration, and lastly a simple illustration. The author lays no claim to originality, but aims merely to give an intelligible summary of the latest and soundest psychological the ories. While claiming to follow no school he takes a middle conservative ground...
